In this class, I'll teach you how to create a fun and vintage-looking poster using Canva! We'll be creating anatomical posters of whatever subject you like; my examples include a bird, a moth, and plants. In the design lesson, we'll be creating a poster that features the Common Daisy - but feel free to get creative with your subject using the methods we discuss!

This poster can be printed out at home or sent to a print shop for larger sizes. Feel free to adjust the Canva document size as needed. I think this piece would look great printed and framed at a large size, or smaller amongst a gallery wall! Keep in mind that there is text in the design and you want it to be legible, so perhaps use fewer words and a larger font if you are going to be printing it at a small scale.

This design class will help you improve your graphic design skills by focusing on composition and the interplay of images and text. We will be creating an image with several elements that you can adjust to find visual harmony; follow along with my tutorial as a starting point, then get more creative with your own pieces!

All you will need for this class is a free Canva account, and access to a search engine (to get information about your subject and names for the parts you are labeling)!
