Create a Canva post that shows you understand how social media platforms differ in audience, tone, and style.
Pick of the following mock brands to create your post for:
☕ – A trendy coffee shop that posts fun, friendly updates about new drinks or community events.
👟 – A fitness and shoe brand that shares motivational content and product launches.
🏫 – A school-based organization that promotes events, leadership, and community involvement.
💼 – A professional organization that helps students prepare for college and careers
🎮 – A gaming store that posts about new releases, tournaments, and gaming culture.
Decide which your post will be designed for:
Instagram
Facebook
TikTok
X (Twitter)
LinkedIn
Look at examples of posts from your chosen platform.
Pay attention to:
How long captions usually are
How visuals look (photos, videos, colors, filters, etc.)
What kind of hashtags or emojis are used
Search for a that fits your platform (Instagram post, Facebook post, TikTok video, etc.)
Edit the design to fit your brand and message.
Add your brand name or logo
Include a message that makes sense for your goal (promotion, announcement, event, etc.)
Make sure it looks professional and fits your chosen platform’s tone
Write a short caption (2–3 sentences) to go with your post.
Include:
A message that fits your brand
A message that make sense for your content
Be ready to explain
The brand you chose
The platform you designed for
Why your post fits that platform’s audience and style

“Pumpkin Spice Season is here! 🍂☕ Stop by The Morning Grind for your favorite fall drink. #CoffeeLovers #MorningGrind”
Instagram focuses on visuals and lifestyle content, which is perfect for showing seasonal products.

Look at top right and there are drop downs, choose stock game and you will see tutorials. You can also see research and choose from those drop down options as well.

Upload your canva to this assignment
Due:
1. FIRST: Open the attached google doc assignment (Employability Soft Skills Webquest) You are to complete the tasks as described on the document. There are links on the document but I have also listed them attached on this assignment for easy access. Once you have completed each task go to CANVA. If you have never used CANVA this is your opportunity to familiarize yourself with it and create your first visual. I attached an example of what I am looking for from CANVA. This is just an EXAMPLE do not use the exact same format or answers.
2. SECOND: Please check your email. You should have an email from career safe that says I have enrolled you in the Employability skills certification training. While there are a total of 11 modules to get this certification I have only opened up the following 3 you will complete this week.
Complete the following modules that have been given to you: Communication, Team Work and Time Management
You will have a couple more modules to complete when you take Marketing I, several more in Marketing 2 and then finish in Retail Operations. This will then give you a certification in Employability Skills that will look great on a resume. It will also give you an extra EPSO when you graduate.
Please let me know if you have checked your email and you do not have it!
