Week #2- Canva Intro, Balt 318

Today I created my first infographic with the Canva website.  Mainly, I have been looking to make myself a business card for awhile.  Being introduced to this form of content creating,  I dedicated my first project to my personal business card.  I created the card with my new business that I am working on starting.

To start,  I created a Canva account from the website:https://www.canva.com/ You are even able to sign up with your google account.

After walking through the website tour, I began my first infographic.

Using the side bar, I was able to find a temple that matched what I was looking for.

I used the bottom right templet from the above image.

After some editing of the temple, and adding my own information, I was able to make a professional looking business card.  With this card, I plan to edit and print so that I can use them to market myself.

Here is my what they would look like now.

One of the most efficient ways to explain information is through infographics.  You've probably seen lots of these infographics around in places such as; classrooms, offices, and basically anywhere online. 

They all have one thing in common, and that is to deliver a message. 

This form of communication works so well because of the way humans are 'visually wired' and "that 90% of the information transmitted to your brain is visual. "(canva.com) This means that it is much easier for people to understand images than reading long paragraphs. 

I feel that learning how to create these forms of messages will increase my entrepreneurial abilities in many ways.  For example, using these infographics for my marketing ad's and being able to express ideas through visual content.
