About this course
PixelLab is one of the most powerful free design apps on Android. This hands-on masterclass turns you from a complete beginner into a confident mobile designer - all from your phone.
You will master the PixelLab workspace, layers and text effects, then use them to build real projects: event posters, promo flyers, church and community notices, logos, a reusable brand kit, quote cards, WhatsApp business menus and YouTube thumbnails.
Every lesson includes a practical exercise and a downloadable PDF guide, and the course ends with two full portfolio projects you can show real clients. Note: PixelLab is Android-only - iPhone users should take the Canva Graphic Design on Smartphone course instead.
