In PRO today, we started with typing and went over another new Canva project, the new CTP flyer. I don’t have a lot of experience with Canva, so I went with a template that contained a text area superimposed over an image, which I made the image of Ed Roberts Campus. It was pretty simple to get the CTP logo in an image file and add that to the flyer, as well. Certain things about Canva I didn’t like, such as editing or moving the text boxes without causing confusion about how to resize or realign the text. Most of the buttons are the same as in Google Slides, but the interface is a little more tricky.
For the remainder of class time, I worked on Canva again for the presentation assignment due Thursday. Yesterday, I wasn’t sure what subject I would do my presentation on. Today, I decided to do it on “How to Sell Ice Cream.” I got the idea from a retail storefront in a nearby, distressed building for rent, thinking to myself what business would go great in there. I didn’t put anything about the property in my presentation, however. I just did the presentation on how to sell ice cream, in general.
