Build 3 reusable templates — prove they’re reusable
Real design teams don’t make posts — they make systems. Build 3 reusable social templates for one brand — AI drafts the layouts, you refine them — then prove the system works by filling each template with 2 completely different real contents.

The work brief
- 01Pick a brand (a club, a shop, your own project) and fix its visual rules: colours, fonts, logo spot.
- 02Design 3 templates with distinct jobs: announcement, quote/tip, event — draft layout directions with Canva’s AI, then refine every template by hand.
- 03Fill each template twice with genuinely different content — 6 finished posts total.
- 04Write the "how to use" note a junior would need: what changes per post, what never changes.
What you’ll produce
Submission standard
Submit the brand rules, all 6 filled posts as one labelled image, and the usage note, plus your AI workflow. Also submit the public Canva view-link to your template file and a screenshot of your own editor refilling one template, showing your account name and today's date.
The brand and its fixed visual rules
Short answerRequiredAll 6 posts (3 templates × 2 contents) in one labelled image
The 6 posts must be the actual exports from the templates in your linked Canva file — each template's 2 fills must share identical layout/structure so the system is visibly real, not 6 unrelated graphics.
Image uploadRequiredThe usage note: what changes per post, what never changes, and why
Written responseRequired
You’ll complete these inside your private workspace.
What you must submit as proof
This brief requires evidence an AI can’t fabricate.
Public Canva view-link to your 3-template file
Canva 'Share > Anyone with the link can view'. The grader will open the file to confirm the 3 templates are real, reusable layouts — a dead or private link fails.
Public linkRequiredScreenshot of your OWN Canva editor showing a template being refilled — account name and today's date visible
Show the live editor swapping content inside one template, with your username and system date visible.
Image uploadRequired
Submissions without this evidence cannot be submitted.
Protect other people in your proof. Blur faces, names, phone numbers and email addresses before you upload, and refer to anyone you worked with by role or number ("Listener 1", "the stall owner"). Your proof is only ever used to check your work — it is never published, never appears on your certificate, and is never shown in your public portfolio.
How your work is evaluated
The passing benchmark is 70/100.
Real system
29%The 2 fills of each template stay consistent while carrying different content.
Distinct template jobs
14%The 3 templates serve genuinely different post types.
Handoff quality
29%The usage note would let someone else produce on-brand posts.
First-party provenance
29%Auto-fail if the linked file does not contain 3 real reusable templates, if the editor screenshot lacks account/date, or if the 6 posts are unrelated graphics rather than genuine refills of the same layouts.
How we grade your AI usage
Using AI is the point — it’s the skill this certificate proves. You’ll answer three short questions about how you used it: what you asked, what was wrong with its first answer, and what you changed. Specific, honest answers score high. “I pasted the brief and submitted the answer” scores near zero.
