About this series

Canva lets you make social posts, flyers, invitations and simple graphics without being a designer. This series starts from the very beginning — finding your way around, working from a template rather than a blank page, and making something you will actually use.

New lessons are added to the player above as they are published.

Want a hand with your own project? Canva is also taught one-on-one and in small groups, at a gentle pace. See Canva for Adult Learners →
