What are OTHERS saying about this AMAZING course?
"Excellent course. In debt explanations, easy to follow and easy to understand. Jeremy is an exellent teacher and he knows his topics. The course was very interesting, professional, and I learned a lot from it. Now i just have to apply it in real life."
5/5 Stars - Eva Szabo
"Well, I had never heard of Canva until I started following entrepreneur legend Guy Kawasaki on Facebook. He links to the site quite often when they have new articles or tutorials.
The course is very well organized. The instructor Jeremy Deighan speaks with a very clear voice. No accent. Audio and video is high quality. Each video lecture is straight to the point. No mindless chatter or distractions. Each section builds on the last. This is really a Dummies Intro course. He has three other courses on Canva. If you already know a bit about Canva you could start off with another one of his courses. I will be taking Deighan's Graphic Design Theory in Social Media Volume 1 next.
The instructor is also very active in the Disucssion area. He even makes his own posts with some examples of great graphic design and what makes them stand out."
5/5 Stars - Mike Hatch
"I loved this! It was complete and so easy to understand. I've been using Canva for a year and there were a few things I didn't know that Jeremy covered. Great work!"

My name is Jeremy Deighan and I am thrilled to be a part of the Udemy team of instructors, helping others achieve their own personal goals. I have had quite the range of skills and hobbies through my lifetime. I really enjoy teaching and hope to provide information to others on anything and everything I know how to do! Please take a moment to check out my courses, and if you take any please leave a review and any feedback you have.
Art and Design
I have an extensive background in different forms of art and design. I have an associates degree in Computer Animation and I've worked with various production houses to create awesome content. Adobe Photoshop has been a staple of my arsenal since I was 16 and use it faithfully to this day.
I also have a history in live visual arts, specifically lighting design for music events, festivals, theaters, and corporate gigs. My passion for the visual arts has helped me become a master in understanding lighting, color theory, and composition.
Music
One of the first things I did as a young lad was learn music. Music is so powerful and one of my favorite things in life. I love playing music, and have played on various instruments; including guitar, bass guitar, drums, and the saxophone.
I feel music can provide so many emotions and feelings, and also has science and mathematical characteristics. It is such a fun topic and I can't wait to begin creating courses on this subject.
Math, Science, and History
I can't tell you what the latest Kardashian is up to, but I can definitely tell you a lot about Crab Fisheries and the Egyptian King Khufu. Typically when I am studying something outside of the art and music realm, it has to do with math, science, and history. I'm just drawn to man's accomplishments and new ways of thinking about things!
Healthy Eating and Exercise
To live a long and balanced life, you need to eat right and take care of your body. It's a mission of mine to make sure that I am in the best physical shape so that I can be around long enough to provide for my family. If there's any courses that I can feel like I really can give back, it would be explaining to others how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I mean, if you're not healthy, how can you help anyone else out?
I've also been very active in sports throughout my life. Usually, these are extreme sports such as skateboarding, surfing, and snowboarding. I'm also a big fan of running, mountain biking, and have taken various martial art forms in the past.
That explains a little about me and my background. It also gives me focus on some key things that I would like to teach in the near future, so look out for courses from me on these topics.
