| 7 | | Connector | Purpose | |
| 8 | |-----------|---------| |
| 9 | | Canva | Create and edit brand assets from templates | |

| 11 | |
| 12 | ## Process |
| 13 | |
| 14 | 1. **Load brand guidelines** - read `brand/brand-guidelines.md` first |
| 15 | 2. **Identify the asset type** - match to a template from the table below |
| 16 | 3. **Use the template** - start from the existing template, don't design from scratch |
| 17 | 4. **Apply brand rules** - colors, fonts, logo placement per guidelines |
| 18 | 5. **Export** - save to the appropriate folder in `brand/assets/` |
| 19 | 6. **Log** - note the asset in the channel's `_insights.md` if it's channel-specific |
| 20 | |
| 21 | ## Design tool templates |
| 22 | |
| 23 | | Asset type | Tool | Template ID / location | |
| 24 | |------------|------|----------------------| |
| 25 | | Presentation deck | Canva | `[your-canva-template-id]` | |
| 26 | | LinkedIn carousel | Canva | Search "[your-company] carousel" in brand kit | |
| 27 | | Blog cover image | Canva | Search "[your-company] blog cover" in brand kit | |
| 28 | | Social media graphic | Canva | Search "[your-company] social" in brand kit | |
| 29 | | One-pager / PDF | Canva | Search "[your-company] one-pager" in brand kit | |
| 30 | | Email header | Canva | Search "[your-company] email" in brand kit | |
| 31 | | Event banner | Canva | Search "[your-company] event" in brand kit | |
| 32 | |
| 33 | ## Guardrails |
| 34 | |
| 35 | - **Always start from a template** - never design from a blank canvas |
| 36 | - **Never modify the logo** - use it as-is from `brand/assets/logo/` |
| 37 | - **Stay within the color palette** - no off-brand colors |
| 38 | - **Get approval** before publishing any new asset type not in the table |
| 39 | - **Save source files** - keep editable versions alongside exports |
| 40 | |
| 41 | ## Self-improvement |
| 42 | |
| 43 | After the CAO reviews a design asset: |
| 44 | |
| 45 | 1. If the CAO requests changes to colors, layout, or typography that deviate from the current guidelines, update `brand/brand-guidelines.md` |
| 46 | 2. If a new asset type is created that isn't in the Design tool templates table, add it |
| 47 | 3. Update `brand/_insights.md` with what worked and what the CAO adjusted |
| 48 | 4. If a design approach works well for a specific channel or format, save it as a reference in `brand/_examples/` |
