An Intro to Graphic Design Using Canva (Level 2)

Mastered the basics in An Intro to Graphic Design and Creating Products Using Canva (Level 1) and looking to learn more? Level 2 provides students with projects that can help with a variety of personal interest, while still providing information on graphic design concepts and terminology. Students will use the free version of Canva to complete a series of projects, many of which can be printed for free at home.

This self-paced course provides information on design technique and short tutorials on the project for the week. By the end of this course, students will expand their understanding of graphic design, how to develop a more critical eye for editing their own designs, and how to design for different mediums.

This is not a "how to use Adobe Photoshop" course. It does not use photoshop and it does not focus on removing images using the photoshop erasure tool. 

Canva contains many templates. Students will learn how to modify these templates and to create designs without using a template. This class does not teach students how to make their own font. 

This class is suitable for:
- Students who have completed An Intro to Graphic Design and Creating Products Using Canva (Level 1)
