Video 5: Designing a notebook page with Canva. Canva is free or you can pay a monthly subscription fee for additional features. For low content books this is not necessary as the only graphics you can use commercially are the free ones. All other graphics (that come with the paid plan) require an extended license for any product where you will make/sell more than one copy.
Canva is very easy and intuitive to use, but doesn’t have as many features as the previous three options. As you will see in the video, creating simple lines are not straightforward. I use it for other projects, but don’t find it as easy to use for books personally. For books, I do sometimes play around in Canva to mock up ideas for how I want a page to appear and then make the final design in InDesign.
Canva can be useful for other types of books. For example, if you were laying out a series of puzzles that you had in .jpg form it would be easy to place these on a page in Canva and then add text boxes for the puzzle titles.
