This course is a step-by-step guide to designing t-shirts using Canva. I'll walk you through the details of each design and make sure to keep you at the same pace.

I'm excited to launch these lectures and share my expertise with you.
Canva is a graphic design platform, used to create social media graphics, presentations, posters, documents and other visual content. The app includes templates for users to use. The platform is free to use and offers paid subscriptions like Canva Pro and Canva for Enterprise for additional functionality.
