if you're a beginner Canva user, you won't be for long. Canva allows users to create graphic designs quickly and easily, even if they have no design experience. This makes it ideal for businesses of all sizes, as it allows them to create professional-looking designs without having to hire a professional designer. Canva is amazing for those of us who own a small business and want to design a logo or social media posts, or for those of us who want to make a poster for our upcoming church bake sale. Educators find it incredibly useful, as does anyone who needs to create presentations or videos for their business. Social media posts, marketing, documents, newsletters, resumes, invitations and stationery, business cards and brochures--don't ask what "can" you create using Canva--ask what "can't" you create? The possibilities are endless! 💻Register online at https://blueeartharea.revtrak.net/Community-Ed/ or 📱give us a call in the Community Ed office at 507-526-3172.
