An elephant, an astronaut and Christopher Columbus walked into a cafe. Canva liked this joke set-up so much, it decided to produce 12 films for the punchlines.

OKAY FINE, MORE SERIOUS CORPORATE BRIEF WAS: Make 12 ads, for 12 Canva features, without it ever getting dull.

IDEA: A Cafe between space and time.

Here, Christopher Columbus answering to his Venture Colonist bosses.
The Vikings launching a men’s grooming brand.
And the Wright Brothers, after an exhausting 700 attempts at flying a plan, stuck making corporate pitch decks.

Even the product windows had jokes, like the llama that photobombed Combus’s gang.
