Can you Canva? Graphic design for non-designers
In a change to our normal meeting this will be a practical session. We will be using the online graphics tool Canva to create images to use in our business. Canva makes it easy for people who are not graphic designer to make professional looking images.

Bring your own laptop with your logo and other images of your own you want to use – there are images available with the tool.
During the session you will make a banner, a meme and at least 2 Facebook images. Canva charges a small fee for some of the stock images, so bringing a method of payment will allow you to complete the process but not doing so wont affect your ability to learn in the class.

Finding your place in the Market
Do you ever wonder if you are in the right business because the market feels a bit crowded or you don’t know how to describe why you are different?  Do you struggle with setting your prices?
