Course Description
No one enjoys the frustration that comes with learning something new. WHY WON'T THIS WORK! I'M GOING TO THROW THE COMPUTER OUT THE WINDOW!
Hey, I get it. We've all been there. There's nothing more frustrating in today's busy modern world then feeling stuck. That's why I'm here to help with this 1-hour Canva Quick Start Challenge!
My name is Greg and I am a Canva Certified Creative who has been working with design software for over 2 decades (multiple years w/Canva). Give me 1 hour and I will give you the confidence and the know-how you need to work efficiently in Canva. Even though I believe Canva has a really smart streamlined user interface, there are still things that can trip you up and I'm here to make sure they don't!
Becoming proficient and starting to excel in any software requires at least a little time commitment. I'm here to put you on the fast track to success in Canva.
We'll cover:
The User and Project Interface
tips and tricks for resizing images and elements
how to select, group, and position elements
how to precisely position text elements in relation to each other and the page
the real power of grids (which everyone usually misses)
some of the best keyboard shortcuts for saving time
additional tools/resources that will help you on your journey
and more!
And this course is FREE! You have no excuse. The time you can save by watching this course will greatly exceed the ~1 hour it will take to watch all the lessons. So, let's learn Canva together.
I look forward to helping you on your journey.
Cheers,
Greg

Hi, my name is Greg. I have spent the last 2 decades of my professional career as a designer, a photographer, a programmer, a blogger, and an entrepreneur. I'm also a husband and a father of 3 so I have a great appreciation for everyone seeking to find the right work/life balance. That's one of the reasons I'm so passionate about teaching others not just the software skills that will drive their professional lives forward, but also the smart workflow approaches that will give them back time.
My main areas of focus are design and photography, but I also love programming, database design, and pretty much anything related to entrepreneur life.
I look forward to sharing with you my knowledge of (and passion for) software. My goal is to not just help you become proficient in your use of the software, but to help you work smarter and more efficiently.
cheers,
Greg

Love the vibe, an easy-going, non-pedantic voice. Thank you. I am creating on a separate screen along with the video. My CANVA version is May 2026--a bit of a difference from the class's version.

Quick course that shows elements of Canva. If you want in-depth step-by-step how to this is not it. Greg is easy to understand. Gives me the willingness to look into further Canva training.

I always appreciate the UDEMY Courses They really have the quality of content and this Canva Course content is really beneficial for the beginners Before starting this course download the Canva and do practice with this course

I am a beginner at canva and I like to get right in and do stuff, so this is quick and straight forward information and has already covered things i was wasting time with, like the thickness of the lines problem.

Outstanding!!! I loved this hour course and got sooo much value from it. I am new to Canva so for me it was perfect! I will be purchasing the master class!!! Thanks so much for providing this, I really appreciate it :)

Well, I´ve been asked this question, if I like the course, only after the first two videos, but so far I find it pretty cool - I´ve just learned an unobvious trick I really needed recently. So I stay tuned ;)

I love your teaching method & I find Canva to be more user friendly compared to other programmes I've tried before. I have even registered for the Canva Master Course for 2020 & Beyond
By Duane Tyler on 6/18/2020
It was okay the lecture was great but Canva is mostly self explanatory for the most part. I learned everything he taught on my own. However if you never used Canva before it will be very useful.
