How to Design a Banner in Canva (Step‑by‑Step)
Share
Step 1: Set Canvas Size & Resolution
Start with custom dimensions that match your banner’s final size—e.g., 4×6 ft. Use a resolution of at least 150 dpi. In Canva, select “Custom size,” enter your dimensions, and choose inches for accurate proportions.
Step 2: Design with Readability in Mind
Choose bold fonts and a clear headline. Keep your color palette high contrast and limit elements to 3–4 for clarity. Add your logo—ensure it’s a high-resolution PNG or SVG for sharp edges at scale. Leave at least 4 in of whitespace around edges to account for hem folding.
Step 3: Export Correctly for Printing
Once your design is finalized, export as a PDF – Print or high-quality PNG with CMYK colors. In Canva, select “Download,” choose the file type, and check “Crop marks & bleed” to ensure proper alignment during print trimming.
