Designing for the mountain bike marathon
Participants sweat through a 40km or 100km mountain bike marathon as part of Ride For Someone Who Can’t. The #rfswc2015 campaign raised just under $90,000, which will assist Western Australians affected by Muscular Dystrophy. Brianna believes these new Canva-made designs made a difference in their fundraising efforts. For MDWA’s small team the biggest challenge is crafting visual content quickly, while keeping designs creative and fresh.
“Canva has helped us so much in a very short space of time,” Brianna says. “We can whip up a facebook post or banner with a few clicks and the design is on-trend. A big plus is that even if you use one of the designs that aren’t free, it’s so much more affordable than other stock sites.”
