In a hidden corner of the digital realm lies a magical place where even the most timid mortals can transform into masters of visual art. This place, known in the human realms as Canva, is a cauldron of creativity where design spells come to life with but a few clicks. Follow me, dear adventurers of design, into the enchanted forest of Canva, where every path leads to visual wonders.
Entering the Realm: Accessing Canva
At the entrance to this digital realm, you’ll find yourself before two portals: the Free Gate and the Pro Passage. The Free Gate allows you to explore much of the realm without offering gold tributes, albeit with some limitations on your creative adventures. For those who wish to wield the full power of design wizards, the Pro Passage, at a tribute of $12.99 a month (or less if offered annually), unlocks advanced spells, hidden treasures, and the ability to create with an unlimited wealth of resources.
The Grimoire of Magical Tools
Within Canva, you’ll find a grimoire of tools, each with its own magical power:
- Pre-enchanted Scrolls (Templates): Choose from thousands of pre-enchanted scrolls to start your creative adventure. Whether it’s a manifesto for the next grand event in the kingdom or a blueprint for a fairy treehouse, there’s a scroll for every need.
- The Color Wand (Color Wheel): With this powerful wand, you can invoke color harmony, perfect for every creation.
- The Armory of Images: Access to millions of images, icons, and graphic elements to adorn your creations. The Pro Passage allows you to summon even the rarest images without further tributes.
- The Font Fountain (Fonts): A library of writing styles, from ancient and mysterious to modern and bold, to communicate your messages in the perfect visual language.
Spells of Collaboration
In this realm, you are not alone. Canva allows wizards to collaborate with other members of their guild, sharing creations and working together on projects across forests and mountains, without the need to physically travel.
The Video Forge (Video Editor)
For those who wish to tell stories through movement, the Video Forge offers powerful spells to create visual tales that capture the attention of all in the kingdom.
The Print Alchemy (Print Services)
And if you wish to bring your creations into the physical world, Canva offers Print Alchemy, transforming your digital visions into posters, business cards, and other tangible wonders, delivered right to your door.
The Connection to the Outer World (Integration)
Canva magically binds to other realms and tools, such as the Social Lands (social media), allowing you to directly publish your creations in the stories and songs of these distant lands.
The Mage’s Verdict
On this journey through Canva, you’ll discover that the magic of design is accessible to all, not just the elder graphic wizards. With a dash of curiosity and the aid of Canva’s magical tools, you can transform your ideas into beautiful visual realities.
Creativity is a fire that burns within each of us; Canva is simply a breath that can turn that fire into a dazzling display.
The uses that can be made with Canva are infinite, for example I also used it to create certificates of authenticity for Mímēma paintings
Mímēma (Greek word meaning an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture)is an Italian group formed by Lodovica Formaggioni (aka Lodo) and Fabio Gagliandi (aka Spike), whose style combines indie pop/rock with noise music, electro and ambient music.
Lodovica Formaggioni, 1989, from Brenzone on the Lake Garda, is the opera vocalist of the group and songwriter. She approached music singing in the choir since more than 10 years. At age 12 she learned to play classical guitar. In addition to music she is interested in poetry, taking pictures and dubbing (since she was a child she liked listening to the dubbers’ voices). Her musical influences are first of all Celtic music (e.g Celtic Woman) and Epic music. Her dream? Living in New York City. Fabio Gagliandi 1988, from Brescia and Verona, interested in music and art since a long time, is songwriter and visual artist. In 2020 he recorded his first Ep, Mímēma. Afterwards, in the same year, he released Spore an in-home (la Sala di Sughero) musical project, followed by songs: Una canzone per noi, La mia risposta, Graffiti, Comunque vada. 2022 Is the year of a new single, La teoria dei vincoli, an indie pop/rock and opera mixture, a perfect example of constant sperimentation, which is the core of Mímēma’s music.
