About this Event
The Human Brain Processes Images 60,000 Times Faster Than Text!
The secret behind any successful piece of marketing material is the imagery.
Fun fact: It takes 13 milliseconds for the human brain to process an image. Versus 6 seconds for a sentence of text. Branding that speaks directly to our eyes has a massive impact on what we can consume. So when it comes to grabbing the attention of your audience, adding an image is the best way to connect with them.
And Canva is here to help you do this.
Take my course and I’ll show you the basics so you can get started quickly with Canva, an easy-to-use graphic design tool. We’ll progress right up to more complicated techniques that will really make your designs pop!
