Create with Canva | Product Review | #TheCircuitChat

Canva has become an indispensable tool in my daily workflow. As someone who needs to create visually engaging content regularly, I absolutely love how intuitive and user-friendly Canva is. Whether I’m designing social media graphics, presentations or marketing materials - Canva makes the process seamless and enjoyable.

However, Canva removes the need for creators to have technical skills. Students are not leaving school, college and university with the industry skills they need. Recruitment of Marketing Person - never used Adobe!

We no longer need creators with Canva - you can be the creator yourself!

One of the challenges anyone that has a busy schedule faces is time to invest in developing content. Yes, you can use templates but that removes the entire creative process. I always start with a blank canvas but gather inspiration from a range of sources.

The vast library of templates is a game-changer. No matter the occasion or project, there’s always a starting point that saves me time and sparks creativity. The drag-and-drop interface is so easy to use that even someone with minimal design experience can produce professional-quality work. Additionally, Canva’s vast selection of fonts, images, and design elements allows for endless customisation, making it possible to tailor designs to fit any brand or personal style.

One of Canva's standout features is its collaboration tools. Being able to share designs with colleagues, receive feedback in real-time, and make edits directly within the platform has significantly streamlined our team’s creative process. This has improved efficiency and ensured that everyone is aligned throughout the design process.

Moreover, Canva’s affordability is impressive given the range of features it offers. The free version is robust enough for many tasks, and the premium version, with its additional assets and functionalities, is well worth the investment for anyone who frequently creates content.

However, in October 2024, Canva will be increasing their fees!

I will suck the extra costs - Canva is a lifeline for my business... Agree?

• Yes, I'll pay the extra - can't do without it!
• No way!
• I don't have a premium subscription.

In summary, Canva is a powerful, versatile, and easy-to-use design tool that I wholeheartedly recommend. It has not only simplified my design tasks but also elevated the quality of my work. Whether you’re a professional designer or someone looking to enhance their content creation, Canva is an invaluable resource.
