1. Understanding the Importance of

Typography in Design

1. What is typography?
2. In its most basic definition, typography is "the design, or selection, of letters arranged in words and sentences,
which
3. to be dealt with in blocks of printed type," or in many cases, that which appears on our screen. Encyclopedia
Britannica explains.

2. Why is typography important?

The basic purpose of typography is to present text in a way that enhances (or detracts from) the experience
of reading it. Typography has the ability to transform the reading experience, making it absolutely vital for
use in everything from newspaper articles to resumes and package design.
Consider the feeling of reading text that is too small or has minimal spacing between letters in the way
you expect text to be: uniform spacing, legible font and size. Or, think about how the wild colors and
cleverly arranged typography on a poster can challenge your perception of a product or brand. The true
power of typography lies in its ability to change how you feel about the message being conveyed.

4. Using Canva's image tools to your advantage
Tons of Image Features
Whether you have the free version or CanvaPro, you'll have access to tons of great features to help your social posts stand out from your
competitors.
image
In the free version of Canva, you'll have an image library with over 200,000 images to use. So, in CanvaPro that number goes from 200,000+ to
60 million images, illustrations, and icons. With such a wide range of professional stock images, you're sure to find the right image quickly.

Have your own image or video you want to use? No problem. Canva makes it easy for you to upload your image, logo or video directly to Canva.

Font
If you want to add words to your graphic, you'll have several fonts to choose from. When choosing a font, make sure it accurately represents
your brand and try not to use more than 2 font styles in a single graphic. Using multiple fonts in one graphic can make the image look less
professional and disorganized.
And just like with images, if you have your own fonts you want to use within your brand that Canva doesn't provide, you can even upload them
to use.

templates
If you still feel you don't have the design skills or are short of time to create a graphic from scratch, templates are great to use! With so many
professional templates to choose from, you can quickly create professional looking content in minutes! These templates are pre-designed, but
you can still customize them by changing your brand colors, inserting your own images, changing the font, changing the text size, adding your
logo, and more.
