Love what I am learning in this course. The detail is very deep, I'm learning more than I really intended to, but this is good because a lot of things I wasn't expecting to "click" are starting to click for me.

As a complete novice to Canva I wasn't sure how to use the software. As the course progressed i was able to make, produce and publish some fantastic professional looking designs. It was hugely satisfying to track my progress too comparing my early designs with the latest. It really enabled me to feel a sense of accomplishment. The presentation of the course was 10/10 and the lecturer had a very engaging and clear style that aided learning.

Good teaching style. Explains things well. I feel like I am really learning something not just being told as some do. Also mentioning the principles for graphics is something I knew nothing about. I always thought it was "anything goes" as long as you like it.

I have learned useful information from this Canva Course by Kevin Volo. The Graphic Design Basics covered in this course before starting actual Graphic Design is very informative and useful. Graphic Design examples and his analysis before actual Graphic for each purpose are also Good. Overall the course presentation is Good. This course is recommended.
