Create Beautiful Mockups with Canva

How about showcasing your products, your designs or your services in a super-powerful, yet playful way? And what if we told you you could make more money and save time by doing so? 

Dear business owner or designer, meet your new best buddies: mockups - and specifically Smartmockups, an incredibly practical (and almost instantaneous!) mockup generator that is integrated with Canva [and no, we are not selling it, we truly believe it is amazing].

And if you have no idea (yet) what mockups are, no worries, this course is also for you. 

In this course, we’ll take you on a journey in which you’ll get a quick theoretical introduction on mockups, followed by a hands-on practical tutorial on how to bring your products, designs or services to real life, so that your clients realize all the amazing potential YOU are offering (and how much they need you :) ).

Let us show you around!

This class is meant for anyone who designs with Canva. SmartMockups comes in two versions: we’ll be showing you both free and paid (premium) resources it offers. 

A bit about us: 

Ronny works at Canva as the Head of Communities and has been creating courses about Canva for over 2 years now. He runs 4 Facebook groups for Canva + his own community together with Diana. All of these are, of course, about Canva and how to become a better designer with Canva.

Diana is a Canva Brand Ambassador (a Canva Certified Creative). She creates online courses about different topics like Instagram marketing, photography, personal branding, and Canva.

The objective of this class is to show you why using mockups is so powerful for you and your business in order to stand out and display your talent in a tangible way, so clients not only find them attractive but also realize they just can’t do without them.

We will be creating mockups to promote custom merchandising products, as well as a digital services portfolio, both based on designs made in Canva from our computers.

This is going to be fun!
