Are you artistically inclined? Are you patient when it comes to graphic design? Do you know exactly how to scale items in order for the type of product you want to create? If the answer to any of those questions is no, I have five reasons you need to start using Canva.
1. So. Many. Templates.
You can literally find a template someone made for just about any theme or thing you decide to create. They have so many that you're bound to find one that you're looking for. It's fun too, seeing what you can create when you already have a template as a starting point.
2. It's user friendly.
Sometimes (most of the time), Photoshop can be hard to use. It can be touchy, and it isn't necessarily user friendly. It will also take years to figure out on your own. Canva comes with a quick and easy thirty second tutorial, but even if you skip it, it's quick to understand.
3. They already have graphics, too.
BUT, if there's a graphic or image you seriously need to use, it lets you upload them within thirty seconds.
4. It always looks put together.
You don't have to worry about spending hours on a flyer that might come out looking like a toddler made it just not looking right. With Canva, it all ends up looking cohesive even if you do not have any skill in matching typeface with pictures or themes.
5. It's free!
Well, most of it is. You DO have to pay for certain materials if you want specific images or if you want to use some of the really nice templates, but you can do so much without paying a penny.
