Use Canva's colour tools to trial different colour schemes, e.g. write the topic in and see what it produces, use an image to generate a colour scheme, and learn how colours have different meanings.
Make changes to improve the design based on feedback, UX methodologies and testing. Record the changes.
Present this clearly in your Google slide.
