A one-page quote in your company style

You will lay out a one-page quote with a grid, two fonts and three colours and download it as a PDF for email.

Materials language: Bulgarian. The software menus are in English, and the lessons show where everything is.

You need

  • A free Canva account
  • Your logo (PNG) and your brand colour (HEX code)

The exercise is designed for the software's free plan.

Steps

  1. A new A4 document and a grid

    Create an A4 design. From “File → Settings → Show rulers and guides” add guides 15 mm from each edge — this is the margin that holds everything important.

  2. Three colours and two fonts

    Choose: your brand colour, a dark one for text and a light one for the table background. Fonts: one for headings and one for body text. Don't add more — more colours make the quote look cheaper.

    Brand: #7D2AE8 (replace with yours)
Text: #1F2430
Table background: #F3EEFB
Headings: Montserrat Bold · Body: Open Sans

  3. The blocks of the quote

    Arrange top to bottom: logo and company details; “Quote No.…” and date; who it is for; a services table (service, quantity, price, amount); total; validity and terms; contact. Every block starts at the left guide.

  4. Download

    “Share → Download → PDF Standard” for email. Open the PDF and check that the text can be selected (it is not an image).

Exercise

Make a quote for three customers from one design: duplicate the page and change only the customer name, services and amount.

The table: at least 3 service rows and a “Total” row.

Expected result

  • A one-page A4 PDF
  • 3 colours and 2 fonts across the document
  • All blocks align to the left guide; nothing crosses the 15 mm margin

Check it yourself

  • The customer name and total are visible within 3 seconds
  • The validity period is stated
  • The text in the PDF can be selected with the mouse
