Stop getting stuck in Canva and learn what actually makes a marketing design work. You open Canva with a clear idea. An hour later, you’re still moving things around, changing fonts, trying another colour, then changing it back. The design looks okay, but something still feels off. Why doesn’t it look as polished as the brands you follow? Maybe you’ve noticed it in other ways too: – People message asking for the price, date or location, even though it’s right there on the design. – Customers compare prices or haggle, even though you know the value of what you offer. – Your business is growing, but your visuals still make it look smaller than it really is. Most founders create at least some of their own marketing materials, and that’s completely normal. But good design isn’t just about making things look nice. It helps people understand what you’re offering, recognise the value and know what to do next. The good news? You don’t need to be a designer to get the fundamentals right. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll start with who your design is for and what you want them to do. Then, you’ll put those principles into practice by creating your own design in Canva, with a few designs reviewed live along the way. You’ll walk away with: – A finished promotional design in Canva, ready to post or send. – Simple principles for fonts, colours, hierarchy and spacing that you can use again and again. – A quick checklist to help you assess your own designs before they go out. – A better understanding of how to make your marketing look clearer, more polished and more aligned with the value of your business. What to bring: – Your laptop with a free Canva account already set up. – Something you’d like to create or improve. This could be an Instagram post, WhatsApp promotional graphic, website banner or simple flyer. – Your logo, brand colours, fonts and product or brand photos, if you have them.
