A 12-session journey from zero to a confident designer — built entirely in Canva, with no prior experience needed.

12 sessionsBeginner-friendlyTaught in ArabicMade with CanvaWatch anytime

This is the course we wished existed: practical, encouraging, and made for women who have ideas worth seeing. Across twelve guided sessions you will learn the language of visual design, master Canva, explore AI design tools, and finish with a portfolio you can show to clients. Every session is recorded, so you can learn at your own pace.

What you'll learn

  • The 7 elements and 5 principles every strong design is built on
  • How color and typography shape emotion, mood, and meaning
  • Confident, fast work in Canva — alignment, layers, and tools
  • Designing for accessibility so your work reaches everyone
  • Using AI tools to speed up and elevate your designs
  • Ethical, culturally aware design choices
  • Building a portfolio that earns trust and clients
  • Marketing and selling your design services

The curriculum

12 recorded sessions — tap any session to open it and watch the recording.

Every design — a poster, a logo, a business card — is built from a small set of visual elements. This first session introduces them and gets you set up in Canva.

In this session

  • Meet the seven elements of design: line, shape, color, texture, size, space, and value
  • See how each element quietly carries meaning and emotion
  • Create your free Canva account and find your way around it
  • Understand why a design works — or doesn't

This week's practice

Create a Canva account, then start a business card: pick the correct card size for your country, add your logo or idea (image or video), and customize the elements to your taste. Bring it to share next session.
