By the end of this project, you will learn how to create a storyboard from scratch using the free version of Canva. Storyboards are sequential breakdowns of each shot for a visual presentation. A visual presentation can include animation, live-action video, sales and marketing pitches. We can use Canva to complete this project because it provides all the tools you need to create an organized and visually appealing product while offering a variety of options for sharing and collaboration. You will learn how to plan and organize your ideas and utilize graphic design tools as you create a storyboard template for your next visual experience.
