Canva Design Masterclass

Design clean, consistent and professional social posts, posters, slides, eBooks, thumbnails and brand kits — no design degree needed. Canva makes design easy to start, but templates alone do not make a design look professional. This book teaches the principles behind good design — hierarchy, alignment, spacing, colour and typography — and shows you, step by step, how to apply them in Canva for social media, posters, presentations, eBooks, thumbnails and complete brand packs.
