Planning apps like Goodnotes and Notability are great for organizing all your ideas in virtual notebooks. In this class, I'm going to teach you how to design these interactive linked virtual notebooks and planners using Canva!

This used to be a tough thing to design because of the linked elements, requiring multiple design tools to pull it off. Luckily, all we need now is a free Canva account.

We are going to create a prototype notebook that includes 3 notebook tabs, 12 monthly tabs, a yearly planner, and a reading tracker. These different sections will teach you design skills that you can apply to any type of digital notebook that you want to create in the future!

You can make these digital notebooks for your own use, or make them as a digital product that you can sell on platforms like Etsy.

This class is very step-by-step and I walk you through every action in Canva. You may want to have some familiarity with the platform beforehand so that there is less of a learning curve, as this project does require a lot of steps! However, anyone can follow these directions with a little patience and interest in developing their graphic design skills. This project is intended to be done on Canva for desktop, but you can still complete it using the mobile/iPad version - you just won't have access to the keyboard shortcuts that I use.

Ready to make some cool digital journals? Then let's get started!
