SCORE Canva Basics: Simple Ways to Create Vital Digital Business Tools

Event description

So much of a business is digital these days. Everything from a Pitch Deck to price quotes, logos, fliers - even if they get printed eventually they usually are created digitally first. How do you ensure your designs stand out among an industry currently flooded with AI "resources"? Customer surveys have found that brands using floods of AI tend to be less trusted by consumers, and questions have been raised around the quality of work from a company who either can't or won't afford the relatively low-cost of even the most affordable graphic design software. It can make your clients wonder where else you're cutting corners and what the quality of your product will be.

But graphic designs from professionals aren't free, and not every business (especially new ones) are able to afford any cost at all. And learning how to use even free software can be daunting. So what is the solution?

One of the most easy-to-use and versatile software is Canva - an online digital design, animation, and editing software which can be used to create everything from Social Media posts, to resumes, to posters, to postcards, to marketing materials, to pitch decks, to invoices and price quotes. The software is free to use, with a paid pro upgrade available for even more resources.

With thousands of font options, graphics, stock photos, video elements, animation styles, and templates to choose from, diving in can seem daunting at first. Once familiar with the platform, the possibilities are endless!

This webinar will break down some of the basics for using the platform when it comes to creating business resources. Focus will be on coming up with your own unique digital designs to tell the story of your brand and why potential clients or customers should chose you!

Graphic designs covered will include:

- Logos

- Price Quotes

- Rate Sheets

- Fliers

- Pitch Decks for new businesses

All you need to create impactful content is internet access! The rest, well the rest will be covered in this webinar!

This webinar is scheduled for 1 hour of instruction and 30 minutes of questions.
