Keep it simple. Less is more.
Be consistent! Maintain branding: company colors, fonts, logos, tone.
Keep your posts personal! Use YOUR own photos.
Create the “brand kit” in Canva. A place to store your logo, select the fonts, colors.
Stay organized. Create folders.
Save your designs in calendar order to make scheduling more efficient. (Be sure to lock designs so moving things around is easier). Use grid-view to get a birds-eye view and ensure branding consistency and that your designs are pleasing to the eye
Use moving elements and animations to help create eye-catching graphics.
Use templates for things like birthdays, anniversaries, and hiring to save time. Create a few for each to keep them interesting.
Explore and don’t be afraid of Canva’s AI like Magic Media to create fun new photos and videos
Create a “Mood Board” - a collection of images, textures, typography, color palettes and description words - or an ‘inspiration board’ to help when the ideas are just not there.
