# How to personalize Global Medical Brigades postcards

## Creating personalized postcards on these Canva templates with your own photos, QR codes, and text will help spread the word about your future info session, Brigade meeting or gather attention on campus.

**How do I access the postcard templates?**

Click on this **[Canva link](https://www.canva.com/design/DAGwn-EYr1w/5SnFJbtMAv-49pNzUK0gHQ/edit?utm_content=DAGwn-EYr1w&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton)** to access all postcards available. You may need to create a free Canva account or log in if you already have one. Canva could upgrade your account for free if your school is eligible! 

Once you are in the postcards, **make sure to make a copy,** and then you can start to personalize them for your info session or Brigade meeting. 

**Editing Your Postcard**

**How do I change the photos on my postcard?**

- Upload the photo you want to replace it with. If you have pictures from previous Brigades, we highly recommend using those.
- Select the photo you want to use and drag it on top of the picture you want to replace.

Tip: Double-click on the new photo if you want to crop or zoom for a better placement. 

**How do I add or change a QR code?**

- Find the app option on the menu on the left side of your screen, and search for QR code. Once you have downloaded the app, you will have access to creating QR codes.
- Generate the QR code with the URL to your Eventbrite (or MyBrigades page) for future volunteers to scan.
- Replace the template QR code with your personalized one. Test out the QR code with your phone to double-check it's taking you to the correct page.

**Saving and Sharing Your Postcard**

Canva automatically saves your progress as you work, so you don't need to worry about losing your edits. 

When you're ready to download your finished postcard, click the "Share" button in the top right corner of the screen, then select "Download." Choose your preferred file format; PDF is recommended for printing, while PNG or JPG works well for digital sharing. Only select the pages you want to download.
