Intro

In recent years, we have conducted various surveys with our participants in online courses, and we have noticed recurring subjects that have piqued the interest of educators, such as youth workers, teachers and trainers.

In the MORE project, we seized the opportunity to develop two online courses based on this demand.

Short description

We have structured this online course into two main sections: first, we will go through basic design theory, focusing on research and the principles of graphic design and secondly, we will get into actual design work using Canva and Photopea.

If your field of activity assumes communication, I won't need to tell you about just how important it is for your materials to look neat. You don’t need, however to necessarily outsource work to professional designers – with the help of this course, you can save a lot of energy and resources!

 

Why should you choose this course?

This free online course will help you get started with two of the best free software available and then provide you with a fast, no non-sense workflow from scratch to ready-to-publish designs. Also in Part 1, you will get briefed on the principles that make good design, as well as an easy-to-understand explanation on the two types of digital image.

Here are the projects followed through within this course:

  • A Mood Board
  • A Facebook Cover
  • A Facebook Post
  • An Instagram Story
  • A YouTube Thumbnail
  • A Printable Poster

The duration of the "Graphic Design Basics for Educators Using Free Software" online course is relatively short, and we recommend dedicating approximately 4-6 hours to follow the lessons and apply the learned concepts in order to create your own materials.
