Design Your Podcast with Canva

In this beginner-friendly, hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to use Canva to create simple, eye-catching graphics for your podcast. Canva makes designing easy with ready-made templates, drag-and-drop tools, and tons of customizable options.

We’ll cover how to:

• Create podcast cover art (a requirement for all podcast platforms)
• Design episode graphics and promotional images
• Create simple intro and outro visuals
• Find and customize Canva templates
• Add and format text, photos, colors, and other design elements
• Resize and download your designs for different platforms
• Create a consistent look you can easily reuse for future episodes

Already have a podcast? Bring your podcast name, logo, photos, or other materials you'd like to work with. You’ll have the opportunity to create graphics for your own show during the workshop.

Just getting started? No problem! You can create something from scratch or follow along with a sample project.

No previous Canva or graphic design experience required. A free Canva account is all you need. Bring your own laptop or use one of ours.
