Graphic Design: Canva 100
Create Professional Designs with Confidence!
Whether you're creating graphics for your business, presentations for work, marketing materials, social media posts, or projects for Toastmasters, Graphic Design: Canva 100 provides the practical skills you need to design with confidence.
This introductory course is designed for adults with little or no graphic design experience and little or no experience working in Canva.

By the end of the course, you'll have a portfolio of completed projects and the confidence to create attractive, effective visual communications for work, volunteer organizations, presentations, social media, and personal creative endeavors.
