Once the underlying elements are removed, you can add your own logo or other graphic assets. To do this, import your logo into Canva and place it where desired.

Now you can customize the text in the design. Double-click on the text to edit it and replace it with your desired content, such as "Sample Page and Offer."

Additionally, you can adjust the font size as needed by dragging the outer edge of the text box.

To add more elements, go to the graphic options. Here you can search for specific symbols or images that match your theme, for example, by entering "Education."

Once you have found an image or graphic element, you can drag it into your design and customize it. It is important to ensure precise positioning to achieve an appealing layout.

Make sure there is no overlap between elements and everything is neatly in place.

If you are satisfied with the design, you can further adjust the colors to strengthen your branding. Go to the respective color and adjust it using the hex code.

After making the necessary adjustments, click on "Download" and select the appropriate resolution. In most cases, you should choose the highest possible resolution to ensure a clear and sharp display.

Check the image to ensure it looks good on different devices. Remember, your cover photo may be displayed differently on different screen sizes.
