We use the Canva graphic design platform for all our online media. The templates are available in the folder 'UAntwerpen - Nieuwe Templates'.
Please note that only Canva PRO users have access to these templates. By default, every faculty and central service has a Canva PRO account. If you want to find the person who manages the PRO account for your department or faculty, or if you want to request a Canva PRO account for yourself, please contact the SPOC of your faculty.

Creating graphic elements for the website in Canva
The templates for the web headers, CTA images or carousels can be found in the folder ‘projecten > UAntwerpen templates > Social media’ in Canva.
Watch our tutorial video on how to use a Canva template for the UAntwerp website, and how to edit your photo in five useful steps.
Get started
- In the overview, click on the template you want to use.
- Click on ‘Use this template’.
- A copy of the design will automatically be created and opened, so you can edit it.
- Edit the image until you are happy with it. You can change the background image and adjust and move the text/text elements. Only the logo remains in the same place.
- Is your text less legible because of the background image? Click on the image and adjust the transparency at the top right until the quote is clearly visible.
- Your faculty colour can be applied to graphic elements (quotation marks, lines, etc.). Click on the element and apply the colour of your faculty at the top left.
- When you are satisfied, click ‘Download’ and download the image in the desired format. For Facebook and Instagram, it is best to download a PNG file, so the image quality is best preserved.
