Kirsty Monk’s Top Tips!

1. Don’t be afraid! There’s an undo button, you really can’t do anything wrong. Canva automatically saves your work so you risk losing nothing.

2. Make use of the pre-made templates for advertising, slimmer resources and social media posts. Work smarter not harder!

3. Remember, once you’ve downloaded and added your marketing hub resources once they are permanently stored in your uploads folder - so again it’s time saving in future!

4. Just have fun with it....
