How to create irresistible content for social media.<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>In this virtual stressbuster event held in a group setting, we are going to walk you through how to create virtual holiday cards or images for social media with the help of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Canva<\/a>, the online app we used for both examples on this page. Registration required. You will receive a link after completing the <a href=\"https:\/\/libcal.rutgers.edu\/event\/7283235\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">registration<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You think you are a bit short of talent? Well, so are we. The cute-pink-pig graphic design on the invitation well represents our skillset (combined), which, with the exception of art librarian Megan Lotts, is virtually non-existent. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3453 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.rutgers.edu\/books-we-read\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/248\/2020\/11\/Graphic-design-is-my-passion-300x300.png\" alt=\"Cute pink pig graphic design\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.rutgers.edu\/books-we-read\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/248\/2020\/11\/Graphic-design-is-my-passion-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.rutgers.edu\/books-we-read\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/248\/2020\/11\/Graphic-design-is-my-passion-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.rutgers.edu\/books-we-read\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/248\/2020\/11\/Graphic-design-is-my-passion-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/sites.rutgers.edu\/books-we-read\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/248\/2020\/11\/Graphic-design-is-my-passion-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.rutgers.edu\/books-we-read\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/248\/2020\/11\/Graphic-design-is-my-passion.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Well-known for Tumblr users, the title of the workshop refers to a popular parody of the original phrase used by visual artists and graphic designers. The sarcastic slogan infers a second part, i.e., &#8220;but it&#8217;s not yours,&#8221; referring to <span class=\"aCOpRe\">rookie design mistake<\/span>s littering social media in these days.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Canva<\/a> is a great source for royalty-free images, backgrounds, and templates in the right size for the various social media applications, even in the free version that we are going to use at the workshop. Bring your own photos or use the pictures provided by the online software. With little or no graphic design skills, you will be able to create your own content. No need for high level computer skills either, the drag-and-drop functions and the easily editable textboxes ensure that you will create your own engaging visuals in no time. It definetely lacks the subtleties of Adobe Indesign or Photoshop, but it is perfect for a quick design job as long as you don&#8217;t mind sharing templates with other users.<\/p>\n<p>TIP: For a pre- or post-workshop stressbuster, try running a Google image search on <span class=\"q-box qu-userSelect--text\"><span class=\"q-inline\"><a class=\"q-box qu-cursor--pointer qu-hover--textDecoration--underline\" title=\"www.google.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=graphic%20design%20is%20my%20passion&amp;rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS895US895&amp;sxsrf=ALeKk01YEAKsqV3U0W1CE5VxMhr2UsADLQ%3A1587689853255&amp;source=lnms&amp;tbm=isch&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjJy93N7f_oAhXBVN8KHQ-xDtAQ_AUoAXoECAwQAw&amp;biw=1777&amp;bih=928&amp;oq=graphic%20design%20is%20my%20passion#imgrc%3D8Ce5NdYGod8_yM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\">graphic design is my passion<\/a><\/span><\/span><span class=\"q-box qu-userSelect--text\"> or a read <\/span>a bit more history on the origin of <a href=\"https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/graphic-design-is-my-passion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Graphic design is my passion<\/a>!
