The Brand Identity Design in Canva course equips learners with the skills to create consistent, professional brand systems that drive recognition and trust. Beginning with brand fundamentals, learners analyze brand attributes, values, and positioning to build a strategic brand brief. They then translate abstract characteristics into tangible visual elements, creating cohesive color palettes, typography systems, and graphic devices that form a recognizable visual language.
