Designing your SubStack logo: A tutorial

Welcome DSAS Online Learning, the newest section of the DSAS design universe! This is a source of educational content for serious SubStack writers who want to supercharge their brand. I have chosen to make my first video series ‘How to make a logo for SubStack using Canva’ because while its easy to use Canva, its not as easy to:

  • Create a brand that reflects you and your writing/art/product

  • Understand what your personal style is and how to apply it

  • Create a designed piece of work when you are not a designer

This mini-course will guide through:

  1. How to use Canva

  2. How to create your own brand

  3. How to establish your own style

  4. How to create a pictorial logo

  5. How to export your logo

So what are you waiting for? Get stuck in!
