- Submitting a file upload
Below is a quick reference tutorial for working through Canva. As you’ve learned from the tutorials, Canva offers thousands of free photos, backgrounds, and layouts. You are more than welcome to begin your work from one of those areas. For my project, I uploaded my own images for a social media campaign around a fictional “Open House” at Gaylord College.
1. Choose the asset you want to begin to design.
For me, I chose the Facebook cover as it gives me a lot of real estate.
It will give you a work space that looks like this,
2. Add a background, texture, or image. Your discretion.
3. Add any other elements such as text, icons, graphics, etc.
One thing to remember with social media design is that you want to be minimal with the text on your graphics. Remember, you’ll have space within the post to elaborate on your message.
4. Download the design as an image.
After it’s done processing, it will automatically download a copy of the image to your computer. This is what you’ll turn in for your assignment.
