“Creativity takes courage.” ― Henri Matisse

Canva has been a constant companion on my creative journey, providing the tools to craft unique and engaging designs. What began as a fun hobby has now become an integral part of my writing and video projects. Over time, I developed a streamlined approach to design, ensuring creativity even on my busiest days.

Here are four simple tips I've learned through trial and error:

1. Visualize Before You Start: Study available design templates and visualize the ideal design before jumping in.
2. Utilize Design Tools: Leverage Canva graphic design tools like fonts, colors, frames, and shapes to bring your vision to life.
3. Edit and Animate: Add animations and make necessary tweaks, re-arranging elements until the design feels perfect.
4. Keep It Efficient: Avoid inefficiency by sticking to a simplified process that maintains productivity without sacrificing creativity.
