So I have a confession. When I first heard about Canva, I chalked it up to being a “cheap” version of Photoshop. I. Was. So. Wrong.
Canva is changing the game, my friends. Non-designers can use their extensive library of templates, photos, elements, icons, fonts, etc. with no prior design knowledge and create professional-looking share-worthy graphics in mere minutes.
As a designer, who will never, ever give up on my trusty Adobe Creative Cloud suite, I still use Canva all the time for social graphics. With the premium version, you can resize your design automatically for any social network, without having to create a new document by hand with proper sizing and resolution and THEN reformat the layers. The program definitely has some limitations but I will continue to shout Canva’s praises from the rooftops for how robust the resources are (they have a whole design SCHOOL, too!) and how easy it is to use.
Did I mention you can also access AND EDIT your designs on ANY DEVICE! Livin’ the dream over here, people.
