What is Canva?

Canva is an online graphic design tool. As a non-profit, we have access to Canva Pro for free. There are many offers with this plan, but here are some listed below:

  • Brand Kit (which includes fonts, logos, and colors all in one place)
  • Access to 100 millions+ assets, such as illustrations, videos, graphics, stock images, audio, and much more
  • Premium features such as Magic Resize and Background Remover
  • Branded Templates: build reusable templates with your brand colors, fonts, and logos.

How do I get access to Canva?

Canva does not have a central login. There are 10 seats we could invite users to. If you need access, email the Communications Manager or the Executive Director.

How do I create designs with Canva?

After you log into Canva, click on "Data Visualization Society" on the left, under 'Team". You can start creating designs from templates. You can also start from scratch by clicking on "Create a design" at the top right beside your profile picture.

Sharing Canva files with the DVS team
