The situation you work through

Amina is applying for a marketing coordinator role in Tampere. She makes a small autumn campaign kit for a neighbourhood bakery café, as a portfolio piece, using only Canva Free: one Brand Kit, three social posts in two sizes, a five-slide deck shared as a view link, and the Canva essentials certificate for her CV.

Your practice task

Make a small campaign kit for a local business, a club or an imaginary shop, using only Canva Free. Build one Brand Kit with three colours, three social posts in two sizes each, and a five-slide deck. If your text is in Finnish or Swedish, write it yourself and have someone check it. Share the deck as a view link and test the link in a private window. Finish the Canva essentials course at Canva Design School. Submit the view link, your three colours and two fonts, one layout decision per post, one thing you changed after resizing, and the date you earned the certificate.
