Canva
Description:
Canva is a web-based program that you can create posters, presentations, blog graphics and more. It is very user-friendly, as it puts you through an instruction presentation from the start and you can used pre-designed formats/templates to make creation simple and quick!
What We Like:
- You can create for all types of media and upload your own photos to the sight to add text or icons.
- You can customize the dimensions of any of these projects to fit your needs.
- There are many free templates you can use. Additional elements are available for $1/each.
- You can search through the photos in Canva and use to create a poster, presentation, blog graphic, facebook cover, card, or social media creation.
- The program puts you through a tutorial as soon as you sign up which is helpful.
Limitations:
- Some of the photos cost $1 to use so you have to be careful if you are looking for free items. Also I was not able to find a filter to only have the free photos show
