Description

Applications such as Goodnotes and Notability offer a sophisticated platform for organizing your thoughts and ideas in virtual notebooks. In this course, I will instruct you on how to craft interactive, linked virtual notebooks and planners utilizing Canva.Previously, designing these elements was a challenging task, requiring a variety of design tools to integrate linked components. Fortunately, with the advent of Canva, all that is required is a free account on this platform.Our project will involve the creation of a prototype notebook, encompassing three notebook tabs, twelve monthly tabs, a comprehensive yearly planner, and a reading tracker. Through these various sections, you will acquire design skills that are transferable to any digital notebook you may wish to create in the future.These digital notebooks can be made for personal use, or alternatively, as digital products for sale on platforms such as Etsy.This course is structured in a detailed, step-by-step manner, guiding you through each process in Canva. Prior familiarity with Canva is helpful, reducing the learning curve, as the project has many steps. Nevertheless, the instructions are clear and detailed, allowing anyone with patience and an interest in graphic design to participate. While this project is ideally completed on Canva for desktop, to utilize keyboard shortcuts I will demonstrate, it is still possible using the mobile or iPad version.Are you ready to create innovative digital journals? Let's get started!
