Canva was founded in Perth, Australia, by Melanie Perkins, Cliff Obrecht, and Cameron Adams on 1 January
2013. In its first year, Canva had more than 750,000 users.[15] In April 2014, social-media and technology

In January 2018, Perkins announced that the company had raised A$40 million from Sequoia Capital, Blackbird
Ventures, and Felicis Ventures, and the company was valued at A$1 billion.[19][20][18]
During May 2019, the company raised another round of funding of A$70 million from General Catalyst and Bond
and its existing investors Blackbird Ventures and Felicis Ventures, valuing Canva at A$2.5 billion.[21] In October

designs.

numerous philanthropic causes.[27]

Empower the World to Design

Reclaiming control over the evolution of one's environment through self-taught design
enlightenment. Intentions of workshop. To provide a resource for individuals who are interested in
learning about design. Because good design serves a purpose, communicates a message, and is
aesthetically pleasing at the same time. And getting something to be noticed in a world where there is so
much variety is becoming harder and more challenging.
As teacher, empower every classroom to design.
Because graphic design creates focal points that draw attention to the most important parts of a
course. Even if a page or a slide is packed full of text, a simple font size change can highlight important
terms to remember. Also design empowers students to reach their full potential in creativity, self-efficacy,
and collaboration.

Canva is  free photo editor and video editor in one graphic design app! Create stunning social media
posts, videos, cards, flyers, photo collages & more. Stand out with one-tap animations and fun music for
Insta stories and video collages.
Compared to PowerPoint, Canva allows for more sophisticated designs without being tricky to use.
The ready-made templates, the wide selection of fonts, and the handy drag-and-drop tool make Canva
quicker to learn so you can get your presentation up and running faster.
It's a great tool not just for creating presentations, but also for creating all sorts of social media
graphics. The free plan is great, but Canva Pro is also an affordable option. It may not give PowerPoint a
run for its money anytime soon, but then again, Canva is targeted towards a different kind of audience.

Because design helps us engage, it keeps us connected to the world, it helps us navigate our way
through physical and digital spaces. Design is used to communicate, depending on who we are – it can be
influential by understanding our behavior and demographics.
Likewise, in education, design is a way of teaching and learning, for easy to teach and easy to
learn. Because good design is so much more than creating a good-looking product. It is about creating a
positive experience for users at every touch point and with every interaction.
