Interest Groups Online Groups

Canva (Graphic Design) Course

Canva is a powerful online graphic design package (at canva.com) that allows you to create all kinds of media, from birthday cards to posters and brochures to presentations, videos, websites, and more. Worldwide more than one million designs are created an hour on Canva, and there are more than 170 million users, including many thousands of businesses, educational institutions, and charities.

This group will get to grips with Canva's amazing possibilities using the free online book Canva for u3a Groups available at https://bourneendu3a.co.uk/canva.

Canva is quite a complex package, and participants should be reasonably competent with computers. Because Canva is an online application, any type of computer is suitable – Windows, Apple, Linux, or Chromebook. It is also possible to use an iPad or Android tablet. The group will meet over Zoom.
