Visual storytelling is no longer a nicety — it is a necessity. But not all newsroom teams or independent journalists have extra resources to devote to designing and creating social media posts to promote their great work.
On Friday, Oct. 10, the National Press Club Journalism Institute held a virtual workshop covering design fundamentals. This training, part of the Institute’s partnership with Canva, covered:
- the fundamentals of solid graphic design;
- tips for conceptualizing and producing graphics quickly;
- hands-on, step-by-step examples; and
- a look at specific Canva tools that can help maximize your work’s impact.
