#ChallengePoverty 2023 Social Media Messages

You can build your own graphics for social media or for posters using the templates on our Canva account. The details are below. Click here to have a look at our Brand Guidelines for some ideas on how best to use the Canva resources.

1. Go to Canva.com
2. Log in using email alyson.laird@povertyalliance.org and password Justice&Compassion
3. IMPORTANT - Go to the design you want to use, hover over the top right of the square, and from the [...] drop down menu, select 'Make a copy'.
4. Canva will then create a copy of the design, that you can use as the basis for your own design
5. Add your text/event details using the toolbar on the left-hand side of the page. Text is the 4th option from the top, represented by a large "T". If you need more guidance on using the platform, find a guide here. If you're adding photos or logos, this can be done by clicking on 'upload' on the same toolbar and selecting the files you'd like to add.
6. Download your file by clicking the downward-pointing arrow at the top right of the screen. Ensure the file type 'PNG' is selected to ensure better quality images. Under 'select pages', untick the files you've not edited and/or do not want to download. This will download to your desktop.
7. Log out of the Canva account by clicking the logo in the top right-hand corner on the home page, and click 'sign out' from the drop-down menu.
8. Post your CPW themed graphics across your social media channels, using the hashtag #ChallengePoverty, and tagging @CPW_Scotland and @PovertyAlliance
