Canva Cheat Sheet, for Your Professional Needs!
Canva is a tool that I have been using for the last couple of years and the more I use it, the more I fall in love with what it offers. This is one of the best products I have come across and used intensively.
It’s like the exploration never ends!
I recently discovered that it has various templates for Microsoft Teams Background for Teachers where they can list classroom rules or today’s activities — How amazingly thoughtful is that :)
It has become my go-to place for anything creative — creating social media campaign collaterals, jazzy and different presentations for internal demos, product pitch videos, instagram cover pictures etc.
The amazing templates have always made me stand out.
Honestly, choices can be overwhelming and finding the right templates can be time-consuming.
So, in this article, I have put together some of the best templates that I have found during my exploration for some of your professional and office needs.
It could be a teammate whose birthday is coming or someone is leaving the workplace or there is a presentation that you need to quickly prepare and you are short of time or you want to give a demo to create a lasting impact and many such scenarios.
Whatever is the occasion I have handpicked some impactful ones that you can quickly refer to. You can directly use these templates.
1. Birthday Videos for teammates
There are so many times there is someone’s birthday and we want to do something special but we either don’t know the right tools or are running in between meetings. The below templates can help in making those moments special for someone. All you need is a few pictures and you are good to go.
2. Goodbye Message and Farewell Cards
This template is mindblowing as all you need is recorded messages of the team members and you just have to place it in different placeholders in each of the slides. The rest is taken by the template. Not just that, there are some cool farewell cards where you can write your messages and share with someone.
3. Roadmaps
This one is for the product and project managers who need to communicate to the stakeholders in a clear and impactful way about the plan and timeline of the project. This has various timeline templates which anyone can quickly use.
4. Mobile First Pitch
I faced a situation where I had to create a presentation to be viewed on mobile and I wasn’t aware at that time where I could create one. Canva came to the rescue as it has some really cool mobile first presentation templates.
