Simplifying Design: Set achievable goals


Thursday | December 7, 2023

Simplifying Design for Bloggers newsletter: A weekly dose of all things Canva to go from blog to business.

It's about that time to start planning and setting your blogging goals!

We like to map out our goals before we take some time off for the holidays.

It's a LOT easier to jump back in with your game plan come January versus starting from scratch during such a critical time for re-engagement.

In this week's blog post, we're sharing our strategy for how we set blogging goals we can actually achieve

🎨 CANVA WRAP-UP

Canva's been rolling out so many awesome new features and updates that it can be a bit difficult to keep up.

To help with this, we'll recap Canva's best takeaways in the first email of the new month.

For November, users can now:

  1. Click and drag to select multiple projects and folders at once
  2. Translate specific text boxes within a design (including Docs!)*
  3. Access designs from the homepage (not just folders) using the side menu
  4. Change the font size in your presentation notes (presenter view)

*Free Canva users can translate up to 50 pages max. Canva Pro users can translate up to 500 pages per month.

You can try Canva Pro FREE for 30 days here!
