Canva is my HANDS-DOWN favorite tool as a social media manager! It helps me create stunning graphics like a pro.
Canva is a drag and drop design tool. A lot of graphic designers use things like Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator to design these really complex and complicated graphics. While they look amazing - the average Joe, you and me, we don't have that kind of skill or TIME to learn something new.
I'm going to sound like an employee and I promise you I'm not! I am not paid by Canva. I am not a Canva employee. I am just sharing what I've learned because I absolutely love it. Here's a few statements from the Canva website.
Design presentations, social media graphics and more with thousands of beautiful layouts. It has everything you need for amazing design. Use Canva’s drag-and-drop feature and professional layouts to design consistently stunning graphics. The best way to understand Canva is to try it!
