Canva + Print Basics

A 3-Part Hands-On Class Series

Learn how to create polished designs in Canva and prepare them correctly for professional printing.

This beginner-friendly series is designed for small businesses, nonprofits, event organizers, artists, makers, and anyone who wants to create flyers, posters, postcards, invitations, business cards, or simple promotional materials with more confidence.

Across three 90-minute classes, participants will learn Canva basics, simple design principles, layout tips, and important print-prep steps like bleed, margins, resolution, proofs, and exporting files correctly.

Each class includes guided instruction, work-along time, individual Q&A, and a take-home handout. Participants will work on their own project throughout the series, with the goal of creating a finished design that can be reviewed and prepared for print.

The free version of Canva is fine. Participants should bring a laptop, Canva login information, and any logos, photos, text, dates, or project details they want to use.
