Class Experience
Students will learn how to use the powerful tools available to them in Canva. By the end of class, they will learn how to write, design, and produce their own books. Whether they have an idea for a book or not, the lesson will open up new possibilites to what can be accomplished with a little guidance and determination. Upload your own artwork or use any of the unlimited graphics available to you in Canva. Even if you can't draw, this class will help you put a book together. The concepts...
Students will learn how to write, layout, design, and prepare a file to submit a book to Amazon. However, we will not access Amazon or KDP in this class. We will go step-by-step and every student will learn the process from a published author and illustrator (21 books to date).
I have published over 21 books on Amazon and Ingram, eleven of which have been done using these methods. I am a career graphic artist having worked for Time Inc. in their magazine division, an advertising agency, and am a former Apple developer.
Students will have the knowledge to produce additional books on their own.
In addition to having an account in Canva, we will briefly use a database software app such as Google Sheets, or equivalent. Although recommended, it's not necessary.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
1 hour per week in class, and no time outside of class.
I will show how to eventually publish on Amazon, however at no time will your student be asked to go to that site. Information will be presented via PDF and online slides.
A PDF link will be provided after class that will cover more than what is covered in class so no need to take notes. **Canva Pro is suggested or Canva Educational (https://partner.canva.com/c/3046813/1486385/10068) should be downloaded before class.
