Alternative text within Canva

A reminder that Canva enables you to make your graphic creations to be more accessible through alternative text descriptions. Where appropriate it is acceptable to mark an element as simply ‘decorative’.

Stoked to see that @canva has options for alternative text for the elements! Thanks, @mrbillywatts, for letting me know about my long-wished-for function! For elements in Canva, there is alternative text, but you can add to what they have or mark it as decorative! #BeAnA11yA11y
