Demystify graphic design!

Create a party invitation in Canva for an upcoming event
Your assignment is to design an invitation for a party or event you're hosting using Canva software. Be sure to incorporate the 3 essential elements in your design — shapes, text, and photography — all available to you in Canva.
Keep in mind: Design isn’t about all the bells and whistles you can fit on one piece. It’s about your message! Make sure your piece is communicating exactly what you want in the simplest and most effective way.
