We have created some easy-to-use templates which you can add images to and update text on to promote your Architecture event. These are available in Canva to make them as easy to access as possible.

Getting started

Canva is a free online graphic design platform, with almost all features being free. If you work for a registered charity, you can also access the premium version of Canva for free, which gives you access to an extensive library of stock images and extra features. You can use our templates with any version of Canva (no payment needed).

Using our templates

To use the template for a post, simply follow the links below, create a free Canva account and update the text and drag-and-drop an image on top of our sample image. Try not to move text or images around to ensure the posts remain consistent with our brand guidelines, and do not change the fonts from their default font.

Each post is the correct dimension for each platform, download below:

We recommend exporting Instagram stories as MP4 videos, that way you can set the length of the story to ensure users have enough time to read your content. For square Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram posts it is best to export as a PNG.

Troubleshooting
