Canva Templates

Whether you use the online design site Canva a little or a lot, you probably have strong feelings about its many template options. Learn tips for working efficiently in templates, with insights into layers and editing tools. Participants will also learn about some of Canva’s newest features. Then, take a fun tour through some Canva templates you may not have discovered yet! In this hands-on workshop, participants will work with Canva templates and learn tips for navigating the new Canva homepage with ease. Participants will work on their own designs during the workshop and will finish the class with designs they can refer back to at their library. Since this is a small group workshop, participants will need a computer with a camera and microphone so they can share thoughts and ask questions throughout the class. This is a beginner class - however it assumes participants have basic knowledge of Canva or have taken CSL DLD’s INTRO TO CANVA class. Participants should have a Canva account and be able to log in before the workshop. (Free Canva accounts may be used - be aware that some features/templates available only on Canva Pro/Teams will be demonstrated). 

Objectives:

  • To be able to navigate and utilize the updated Canva homepage
  • To learn to customize Canva templates for library usage
  • To learn about Canva features, including recently added features, that make it easier
  •  to edit templates and to create unique designs
  • To learn about a variety of new and useful Canva templates and to discuss their uses
  •  in libraries
  • To discuss new Canva collaboration options for working on designs with colleagues
