After watching the video and reading, I have also gained some basic understanding of Canva and have used the App. Canva is easy to sign up for, using email, a Google account, or a Facebook login. After creating an account for free, you can choose to use it as a teacher, student, or anyone else. This will tailor the experience to your needs and make searching easier. It offers many virtual templates so we can use the designs and add our own changes. This allows us to focus on our own themes without wasting time. I think I would use it to create both my presentations and posters ideally. Because it is very easy to search for the images and backgrounds I need. In my opinion, I will use hierarchy to help focus my design, Leverage contrast to accentuate important design elements, Make sure that my designs have balance, and Optimize color to support my design in the future. Most people think of Canva as being used only for creating images. But you can create invitations, planners, business cards, blog banners, newsletters, menus, certificates, workbooks, websites, flyers, and much more. There are also many resources for online education.
