I follow Canva on Instagram, they announced the conference, and I immediately enrolled. I even did not know the price and the time. I was super motivated as it is connected to my job (duh). The conference was in two different time slots so that more people could join. I am based in Ukraine, so I did not have to wake up at 4 am to watch it. Btw, it was free of charge 0_0 they streamed it from Zoom (awful quality) and from YouTube (I watched on YouTube as the quality was better) and took millions of pics, although it was recorded. I want to be on the safe side – write as hell and take millions of pics.
long story short
my takeaways from the event (if you find them beneficial, you are welcome to thank me)
takeaways:
- combinations of fonts: thick + thin; tall + short;
- create folders – with time. It could be a nightmare to find something;
- you can upload pdf files into Canva and edit them;
- you can share a presentation with a client via Canva – no need to send it via email. Thus you will avoid additional and hectic upload – send – download – read – comment – upload, etc. actions;
- share your work with others via Canva and use comments – it saves time and makes more sense;
- nowadays, visual communication is more critical than ever;
- pay close attention to the balance of elements on your pic (hierarchy, contrast, navigate space, repetition, alignment, balance, grouping);
