Course Description
Have you tried producing your own graphic designs that just don’t look professional?
Have you been outsourcing your graphic design work, paying a lot of money while not getting designs you’re completely happy with?
Want to get started in graphic design but have no formal design training and don’t know where to start?
Let me answer some of the questions on your mind right now...
1. How can I create fantastic graphic designs on my phone with Canva without a paid PRO account? Especially that Canva background.
To answer this, I will be introducing you to my methodology, my way of using Canva. Now to be clear, I have used and still use advanced software like Photoshop, CorelDraw, and sometimes I really want to create a design while I'm on-the-go, I have learned then to rely on Canva and use it to create almost the same kind of designs I create using an advanced software. How I do that is what I have put together to show you here.
2. What other apps will I need?
If you are the type of person that likes to explore, some apps I can recommend for you to create related designs are:
Snapseed (important for editing photos, I'll show you how to do this)
Bitmoji (optional for creating cartoon characters)
Color Splash (optional)
Now you don't have to have these apps because you can get the results with Canva mobile app
3. I'm a complete beginner, I hope this course will help me.
I happen to be a teacher-trainer, which means I teach and train those who teach others frequently. As a certified coach and therapist, my special superpower is to simplify tough concepts for the unlearned. I hope to deploy those powers here on your behalf.
4. I already use Canva, what else can I learn?
To be honest, I can't teach you what you don't want to learn. My philosophy is that we are always learning even when we are unaware. What I can however do if you already use Canva is to present different, if not a better, perspective that will shape how you use Canva going forward.
If you have been using Canva before now, prepare to amplify those skills.
And...
If you are a beginner, I will simplify everything for you a lot.
I will teach you everything you need to know to be able to produce all of your own designs, quickly and easily. Canva app is amazing, and is much easier to learn than other expensive graphic design software. You can achieve excellent results, and because Canva is free to use, you can save huge amounts of money on design outsourcing or software fees. I have used Canva for many design projects, and always come up with fantastic end results!

Dayo Samuel
I am a multidisciplinary product designer and educator with a background that spans UX design, learning technology, behavioural science, and digital product development. Over the past decade, I’ve helped creators, subject-matter experts, startups, and organisations translate their knowledge into structured digital products, interactive learning experiences, and technology-enabled systems.
My early work focused on building digital learning platforms and audio-based education tools for brands and institutions. This eventually grew into designing app prototypes, custom LMS environments, and frameworks used by educators and solopreneurs to deliver transformational learning at scale.
My training in psychology and behavioural sciences – including cognitive behavioural approaches, family systems thinking, and neuro-related disciplines – gives me a practical understanding of how people learn, make decisions, and apply new skills. I use these insights to design clearer instructional systems, better product experiences, and more effective teaching tools.

AAAAA+++++ Great! An actual graphic designer shows us how it's done on an app. I've been designing for a lot longer than this instructor and I've learned PLENTY from him in 3 videos. Highly recommended:)
