Workshop presentation in Canva

Competition Entry: Canva Professional Designs

About the Project
I embraced the competition as a challenge to create a comprehensive course in just one day with the aim to benefit others. Thus, I crafted a "Mastering Time Management Workshop" presentation. The workshop spans 17 slides, including elements such as a cover, table of contents, exercises, tips, techniques, quotes, and much more. It draws from my personal experiences, books I've explored, and workshops I've attended.

Design Process
With my presentation experience and research, the foundation was clear: minimal text on slides, clean fonts, a color palette with no more than three colors, and the use of two fonts max. The style chosen was vintage/minimalist, utilizing round shapes for a clean look. After drafting the content, it was summarized and organized across slides.

Illustrations were crafted around a central character I designed in Affinity Designer, while Canva's Draw tool facilitated shape creation. Icons from Canva and svgrepo.com were directly integrated into the presentation. After organizing graphics and content, I reviewed the presentation with fresh eyes to ensure clarity and coherence before adding final touches like page numbers and a filled table of contents.

Drawing from my past experiences and research, I established essential design principles: using minimal text, selecting clear fonts, maintaining a color palette of up to three colors, and utilizing no more than two fonts. I chose a vintage, minimalist style with clean, round shapes.

I drafted the text I wanted to include in the presentation, then summarized and organized it across the slides.

I created the necessary illustrations and I collected graphic elements based on the types of slides I planned to make, designing a consistent set of six illustrations with the same character. I dragged icons directly onto the slides from Canva or imported them from external sites like svgrepo.com.

I arranged the elements and content on the slides, ensuring visual balance and clarity.

I took a break to review the presentation with fresh eyes, identifying areas for correction or improvement.

I added finishing touches, such as page numbers, and completed the table of contents with corresponding pages. I prepared the presentation for sharing.
