Canva + GPT Walkthrough for About Page Graphics
Want to design a high-converting About Page graphic—without hiring a designer or spending hours stuck in Canva? This step-by-step walkthrough shows exactly how to pair GPT + Canva to create a clean, professional, brand-aligned graphic for your School or community. We used this process to help Growth Lab student Derek, who launched his 90-Day Dad Bod Shred Program inside School. His original graphic rated 6.5/10—but we transformed it live into a clean, clear, CTA-driven layout that converts. Inspired by proven frameworks from Aaron Fletcher, Evelyn's School, and our very own Growth Lab assets. ❌ PROBLEMS Most About Page graphics fail because: - They're cluttered and blocky. - The layout is inconsistent with the brand. - There's no clear CTA or benefit-driven messaging. - People get lost in fonts, colors, and Canva overwhelm. ✅ STEPS (Signature Solution Snapshot) 1. Clarify the Brand & Messaging – Use GPT to extract your Million Dollar Message and positioning. 2. Generate a Design Prompt – Let GPT write the prompt for you (no more guessing or buying 100 prompt packs). 3. Use Nano Banana / Gemini AI (Optional) – Rapidly prototype visual ideas. 4. Create in Canva – Start with a simple layout: Image Left / Text Right or vice versa. 5. Apply Your Brand Colors – Use the hex codes generated in your 5-Day School Challenge. 6. Add Value-Driven Copy – Promise + Outcome + CTA. 7. Make It Pop – Use shadows, spacing, and contrast to highlight the CTA. 8. Iterate – This isn’t the final version. Update it as your brand grows. 🧠 CONTEXT Your About Page Cover Photo is the first thing people see. It sets the tone for trust, clarity, and conversion. Using this system means you no longer need to guess—you can build like a pro, even if you’re brand new. 🚀 ACTION Want this About Page Canva Template for your own School or community?

And if you want a chance for me to design YOUR graphic live, complete Day 4 of the 5-Day School Challenge and tag me in the community post. *will pick winners at the end of each month*

This amazing brother!! I can't thank you enough man!!
📘 DAY 5 – Set Up Your Skool Community (Drop Your Homework Here)
The final day. The day everything comes together. Today isn’t about “learning.”It’s about building the actual home your offer will live in — your Skool layout, modules, levels, onboarding, retention plan… the whole ecosystem that turns strangers into paying members. And yeah — this is the day where most people feel the overwhelm creep in. So if that’s you? Welcome to the club. Take a breath. You’re good. Nothing great was ever built in one shot. This is just version 1. 🎯 Goal of Day 5 Turn your roadmap + offer + brand into a real community structure using the Day 5 bot. By the end of today, you’ll have: - Your Skool levels - Your three modules that match your 3 stages - Your onboarding flow - Your retention plan - Your ascension planAll sketched out and ready to plug into Skool. 🧠 How Day 5 Works 1️⃣ Open the Day 5 module in the classroom and watch the walkthrough. 2️⃣ Open your Day 5 bot. 3️⃣ Type: Start Day 5 4️⃣ Answer each question one at a time. 5️⃣ The bot will generate the full layout for your Skool community. This includes: - Level 1, 2, and 3 names + focus - Module 1, 2, and 3 names + structure - Your onboarding flow - Your retention plan - Your ascension options - Your weekly cadence - Your upgrade paths This is the blueprint for what happens AFTER someone joins your group — the thing most coaches never build, which is why they stall. 📝 DAY 5 HOMEWORK Drop these in the comments: 1️⃣ Your Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 names 2️⃣ Your 3 Module titles 3️⃣ Your Onboarding Flow (3–5 bullet points) 4️⃣ Your Retention Plan (what keeps people engaged each week) 5️⃣ Your Ascension Plan (what they can upgrade into) Copy/paste from your bot output — don’t overthink it. This is version one. We refine later.

I had a lot of the steps completed already. But, my brand colors were not what I had envisioned. So, I used the bot my colors locked. I used the colors from the bot, and redid my Skool about page, and I like it so much better. The original is on the left, the new color scheme is on the right. Let me now you're opinion!! And my prompt and response from the bot - I want to match my brand logo the Jacksonville Jaguars Black, Teal, Grey. I use Canva for my images. How can I match their scheme? Can you find the colors for me? Here are the official Jacksonville Jaguars color codes you can use in Canva so your brand matches the team’s Black–Teal–Grey/Accent scheme: 🎨 Core Team Colors (use these in Canva) - Teal (primary): #006778 — deep teal used in the logo and uniforms Team Color Palettes - Black: #101820 — official team black (best match to Jaguars branding) Team Color Palettes - Grey (optional neutral): For grey, Jaguars don’t have an official grey as a core color, but here are good matching neutrals that pair well: Canva lets you paste hex codes like these directly into the color picker to match exact colors. 📌 How to use them in Canva 1. Select any element (text, background, shape). 2. Click the color swatch. 3. Choose “+” or the Hex code field. 4. Paste the hex code, e.g., #006778. 🎯 Quick Palette Summary ColorHex CodeUsageJaguars Teal#006778Primary brand color Team Color PalettesJaguars Black#101820Accent / text / backgrounds Team Color PalettesDark Gray#2B2D31Neutral optionMedium Gray#6D6E71Secondary neutralLight Gray#CCCCCCBackground / soft accent If you want the gold accent too (often used on jerseys), you can add: - Jaguars Gold: #D7A22A Team Color Palettes
