In late April, the Brand Ambassadors at Miami (BAM) committee hosted the inaugural Canva workshop — an event organizers hope to offer annually moving forward. Led by BAM co-chairs Kenzie Bryant, Senior Graphic Designer, and Krystal Wright, Marketing Manager, along with Associate Art Director Dani Cimino, the session provided a comprehensive overview of Miami University’s brand guidelines and Canva best practices.

Participants explored a wide range of topics, including:

  • Designs requiring brand approval
  • Common challenges in brand implementation
  • Where to find templates and assets in Canva
  • Correct logo usage
  • Submission requirements
  • Designing with the channel in mind
  • Printing tips
  • Email best practices
  • Social media image guidelines
  • And much more

The slide deck, recorded session, and additional resources are available in Google Drive. If you’re unable to access the folder, please contact Brand@MiamiOH.edu for assistance.
