Canva Fundamentals Part 1: Branding Kits, Workspace Organization, Static Collateral, and Collaboration

Don’t feel like you’re getting the most out of Canva? Attend one or both sessions of this 2-part webinar series to learn how to best utilize Canva features to create effective, branded graphics, marketing collateral, dynamic video content, and more.
In Part 1 of this series, attendees will focus on establishing a strong foundation in Canva for day-to-day AEC marketing needs.
Attendees will learn how to:
- set up Brand Kits
- organize workspaces and project assets
- build brand-governed templates
- use key design and collaboration tools (like locking features to safeguard layouts)
- use export best practices for print and digital
- use practical, non-disruptive AI tools for photo cleanup and text editing
This session focuses on Canva Pro, but Bonnie will also point out which features you can use with the free version.
To sign up for both sessions, select the "Two Session Bundle" ticket option.
Bonus Value
In addition to the live sessions, all attendees will have the opportunity to schedule a complementary, 30-minute one-on-one Zoom meeting with Bonnie where she will review your Canva file and provide feedback and guidance.
