Cílem bylo na první pohled komunikovat zdravou, neslazenou minerální vodu s funkčními benefity a jasně se vymezit od vizuality sladkých energetických nápojů."

Canva is a web-based graphic design tool that simplifies the creation of digital and print materials. It's known for its user-friendly interface, making it accessible for users of all skill levels to create professional-quality designs.

The Role of Canva in Design Handover

Canva is not only a tool for individual creativity but also a powerful platform for designers to share professionally created templates with clients. These templates enable clients to make personalized edits to designs, ensuring the final products meet their specific needs without requiring deep technical design skills.

How to Work with Professional Templates

  1. Access the Template: Click the link provided by your designer. If prompted, log in to Canva or sign up for a free account to access the template.
  2. Edit Text: Click on any text element to modify the content. You can change the font size, color, and alignment.
  3. Customize Design Elements: Swap out photos or videos with your own or choose from Canva’s extensive library.
  4. Download or Share: Once satisfied with your design, download it in the format that best suits your needs, such as PNG, JPG, or PDF or share it directly from Canva to your social media or email.

Benefits for Clients and Designers

For Clients: Canva templates provide a cost-effective solution, reducing design time and expenses. This efficiency allows for the reallocation of resources into other business areas, while simple customization maintains brand consistency and fosters effective collaboration with your designers.

For Designers: Canva templates streamline the handoff process, giving clients the ability to easily update materials. This reduces the need for minor revisions and ensures the integrity of the design.

Do I Need a Canva Pro Subscription?

Our studio provides templates that are fully functional with the free version of Canva. This ensures that you can utilize and customize our templates without needing a Pro subscription. If a template requires Pro elements, it will be clearly stated, but the majority are designed to be accessible to all users.

Who really drives the world economy? Exploring Women’s Influence on Consumer Decisions

Women control or influence 85% of consumer spending.

Women are often buying on behalf of everyone in their households and beyond. Even in traditionally male sectors (finance, tech & electronics, hospitality etc.) women a dominant force in shopping.

Women are catalysts of change.

Just as women's influence has sparked transformations in the workplace—like the shift from maternity to parental leave and the rise of flexible job options for everyone—they're also shaping the consumer marketplace. A great example is the growing preference among younger generations to support companies making a positive social impact.

Women Control Wealth.

Women in the United States currently oversee around $11 trillion in assets,  a number that is expected to grow to $30 trillion by 2030.

92% of women actively share deals and online recommendations.

Once your brand makes an impact on women, they tend to be loyal and spread it far and beyond.

Women are taking on the role of primary earners for their families more than ever. 

Approximately 70% of mothers in the United States are likely to assume the role of primary financial providers before their children reach the age of 18.

Men and Women are not the same. DUH.

People widely acknowledge that men and women are distinct, with profound, unique, intriguing, and valuable differences (reasoning, behavior, priorities etc.) Despite the undeniable significance of the female audience, why do women continue to be overlooked in marketing?

Heels Make Deals: Creative studio focused on women

Our studio has extensive experience in women-centred design and branding, encompassing all brand touch-points, activations, and advertisement. Looking for personalized design assistance?
