In today’s workplace, the look and feel of a presentation or design often determines whether our message is delivered effectively or not. A study from Harvard Business Review found that strong visuals can increase audience understanding by up to 89% compared to plain text. This shows that design is not only about aesthetics, but also about communication effectiveness.
Additionally, according to research by the Social Science Research Network, around 65% of people are visual learners they absorb information more easily through images or visuals rather than long blocks of text. Clearly, a “good-looking” presentation helps messages become easier to understand, remember, and impactful.
The challenge is that not everyone has a design background. Professional design software can feel complex and requires long hours of learning. This is where online design platforms step in offering a faster, easier, and more practical way to create.
One of the most popular platforms is Canva. With its simple interface and drag-and-drop features, Canva allows anyone even beginners to create everything from posters and social media content to professional business presentations. According to Shopify, Canva is now used by more than 200 million people across 190 countries. Its popularity comes from ease of use, thousands of ready-to-use templates, and team collaboration features that make work more efficient.
What’s more, TIME reports that Canva continues to innovate with AI-powered features such as Magic Studio, which makes the design process faster and more creative.
Borwita Public Training: Basic Canva
Recognizing this trend, Borwita took the initiative to hold a Public Training on Basic Canva last August. The training was conducted online and attended by many employees from various Borwita branches.
The training covered essential Canva skills, including:
- Creating a blank canvas
- Adding design elements
- Modifying text
- Exporting finished work
- Sharing designs with colleagues
Beyond theory, participants were also given practical assignments: creating a simple design and sharing it on their personal social media. This way, employees could immediately apply what they learned while also showcasing their creativity.
Canva stands as an accessible, fast, and inclusive design solution. From creative individuals to large companies, anyone can produce professional-quality designs without having to be a professional designer.
Through this Canva training, Borwita aims to empower employees to become more creative, productive, and confident in creating visual content—both for work and personal development. Because at Borwita, investing in employee skills is seen as a key foundation to growing together.
