Canva is an excellent, free, design tool that can save us time and money. It makes sense to use this instead of paying for expensive designers. This step by step guide addresses the problem of not being able to create a transparent background logo in Canva (without paying).

Solution:  The logo is created in Canva.  Once created and saved, we use a separate website to make the white background transparent.  It can then be used for multiple documents with ease and have that professional look to it.

This resource can be used to present a project that a class or team has been working on in a logical manner. It contains two different powerpoint designs that they can choose from. There are 10 slides within the presentation. Students / Learners simply type in their own information by over typing what is on the slide. They then insert relevant data and graphics. This assists with formatting and presenting ideas in a logical way. I use it in the workplace training sector when teams have been working on an issue and have formulated goals and completed tasks to achieve an outcome. Once they have completed their project, they present it to their managers using the templates included.
