Graphic Design for Business (Canva & Adobe)

Written for the person in the team who ends up making the poster. Participants learn the handful of design rules that separate amateur from professional work, then build a brand kit and a set of reusable templates so future material stays consistent.

Aimed at marketing, communications and administrative staff who produce visual material without design training, which describes most people making business collateral in Malaysia. The course teaches design principles first, covering hierarchy, alignment, contrast, colour and type, so that participants can judge their own work rather than only copy templates. Practical work is done in Canva for speed and in Adobe tools for the cases Canva cannot handle, with clear guidance on which to reach for. Brand consistency, file formats and export settings for print and screen are covered, along with the licensing questions around fonts and stock imagery.

Programme Modules

01

Visual Hierarchy and Design Fundamentals

Alignment, contrast, spacing and type scale. The small number of rules that explain why one layout reads instantly and another feels cluttered.

02

Getting Started with Canva

Workspace, frames, elements and the features worth knowing. Working efficiently instead of fighting the tool.

03

Brand Kits and Consistency

Logos, colour palettes and fonts loaded into a shared brand kit so everything the team produces looks like it came from the same company.

04

Reusable Templates

Building templates for the formats you produce every week, so a new social post takes minutes rather than an afternoon.

05

Adobe Express and Photoshop Basics

Background removal, simple retouching and export settings. When to step outside Canva and when there is no need.

06

Designing for Social and Print

Sizes, safe areas, resolution and file formats. Producing artwork that holds up on a phone screen and at the printer.
