So the basic download options in Canva include image and print standards (PNG, JPG, PDF). The templates can give you the start, a base aesthetic, but you can really make it your own. Now that you have a base, just tweak the template for your own purposes.Ĭhange colors, pictures, fonts, text, and add your logos. Or you can just click the “Apply all…” button to give yourself a base to start. When you pick a template, you have the option to go page by page adding in the template. Hovering your mouse over a template will scroll through the internal page options (if it has any). Some templates (especially report templates/presentation templates/magazine templates) include multiple page styles. You’ll see the templates on the left side of the page. They take care of a lot of the visual design grunt work, so we can just pick a style we like and adapt for our purposes.
Templates are what make designing in Canva so easy. Reports come in all shapes and sizes these days so you don’t have to default to letter size (8.5 x 11).īut for the sake of this example, we’ll just choose the “Report” option. Okay, so go to (sign up for an account if you don’t have one already) and pick a size. We can have both! Choose your report size. Lucky for us, there is no reason to choose between the two. When working with clients hesitant to leave the comforts of the tools they know, it’s often my tool of choice for visual reports.īut working in Canva just makes the whole design process a heck of a lot easier (and faster). Power Point is certainly the most designer friendly tool out of Microsoft Office’s big three (Word, PowerPoint, and Excel).
