In event planning, your guests’ first impression often comes at check-in. A seamless, welcoming, and efficient check-in can set a positive tone for the entire event, leaving your attendees feeling engaged and valued. Here are some essential strategies to elevate your check-in experience.
1. Customize Any Uploaded Files
Whether the original file is a PDF, Powerpoint, or Word document, uploading into Canva can make them more easily transformable and allow you to manipulate design elements more freely. Not only can you redact elements, you can add more (shapes, art, photos, etc.) to the file itself either by uploading your own content or choosing elements from Canva’s large stock library.
2. Background Remover
When working with many logos for sponsorship materials, e-blasts, social media posts, digital/printed journals, and more, removing the background can make designs look cleaner! Not only is this function useful for logos but also any other assets to ensure seamless layering of all elements in the full design.
Note: This tool is available to use only with a Canva Pro subscription.
3. Resize a Design
With event materials coming in many different sizes, quickly adjust the dimensions of any design without the hassle of starting from scratch to save time along the production timeline! By resizing a file, all design elements will be scaled up or down in a matter of seconds to fit the new size of your choice. This will help ensure all elements are preserved and can save time along the way as more materials are built out.
Note: This tool is available to use only with a Canva Pro subscription.
4. Add Crop & Bleed Marks
Especially for printed materials, editing with crop and bleed marks visible will help avoid design elements being cut-off. They serve as a great guide for laying out every element and ensure all are properly aligned. When designs are finalized, export files seamlessly with the marks intact and ready to print!
