Sequence every event that transpired on a specific period. Arrange them in order, starting from the earliest act down to the latest. Then, figure out the scale of your timeline and set a bar to lay each segment of your story or project.
Create graphic timelines by using Canva’s library of lines and shapes. Place small circles along the bar to plot specific instances and use arrows to point out important details. Make your time travel complete with texts to describe an event. You can add personality to your timeline with striking fonts and stimulating colors from our options.
