I LOVEEEEEE CANVA
What do you like best about the product?
It has saved me so many times when I've been in a bind and needed a last minute graphic. It is so user friendly and there are TONS of template options. I actually stopped making requests from our graphic design team at one point because it was easier for me to do it through canva.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do wish that you could upload your own fonts for free or that the normal microsoft word fonts were available as an option. It would make it easier to keep designs on brand and consistent. Also, I've found that it crashes or freezes a lot and always at the most inopportune times. Some of the colors are also slightly off in HEX codes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I basically became the graphic designer for my department when people have needed last minute requests and our actual graphics team could not turn them around quick enough. You dont need any design experience or understanding of InDesign to make an awesome piece!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it for everything! You dont need a graphic designer ever again!

What do you like best about the product?
I almost hate to recommend this application because it shows folks just how EASY it is to design a great promotional piece. But, I do. I recommend it all the time.
I have used Illustrator for years to create all of my work - many times now, probably 8 out of 10, I click to Canva first. The many templates spark an idea when I have none. I rarely use a template as it has been designed but use them as a starting point.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I miss in this application is the ability to place an object at an exact measurement. While you can see the XY axis as you place, the number is in points rather than inches - I prefer inches - and it would be amazing if there were a box to define exactly where you wish to place the object.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can quickly design a piece and download and back to other projects - Canva is a timesaver for me.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are not a designer, this is a great application to produce great social media posts or print pieces. You cannot go wrong.
If you are a designer, it is great, use it for quick projects. You will be amazed at the tools available.

Canva is a grat product I would recommend to anyone without a professional designer!
What do you like best about the product?
I like the smiplicity and the fact I as a non-designer can easily create stunning images for everyday use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the slowness sometimes, maybe because it is browser based and it can be memory heavy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am creating images for social media, presentations or even print sometimes. The best thing is there are many beautiful templates I can use.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just try it out and you will see the great output it creates. Plus it is free for most templates and images and you can always buy some licenced ones.
Make graphic design so simple!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the fonts, templates and variety of colors Canva offers. Depending on the feel I want to convey for the poster or social media post, Canva always has a solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish you could directly upload the images to Facebook Pages Manager.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I hate creating simple posters and flyers in PowerPoint. We all know the resolution doesn't turn out well. Canva allows me, someone who knows NOTHING about graphic design, to produce quality work in a very short period of time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Play around with the different offerings, and check out their blog to learn from tutorials. If you just start creating from scratch, you're guaranteed to figure it out.
Best free design software out there
What do you like best about the product?
Canva has changed the way I do work! I am a self-taught graphic designer and my clients need things like social media graphics, website banners, email headers, and infographics. Canva has hundreds, probably thousands, of templates that you can straight-up "steal" or customize to make it your own. It makes designing so much easier and quicker!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish you could upload fonts with the free account but other than that, there is nothing bad to say about this program.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I want to make modern, eye-catching graphics for my clients (business coaches, entrepreneurs, therapists, stylists, bloggers, etc.) quickly and easily. Canva allows me to do this. I have also learned a lot about font pairing, color pairing, how to utilize shapes to make certain elements stand out, etc. They have a "school" with free tips and strategies so literally ANYONE can design using any of their templates or one you make up on your own! There is a lot of inspiration within Canva and within the Canva-using community.
Canva
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to edit and create graphics to be used by a business without needing a graphic designer on staff for smaller simple projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes is slow and difficult to move things around.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The time it takes to create these graphics is lengthened because canva seems to run slow.
I absolutely love it! Saves me a ton of time.
What do you like best about the product?
I am not a designer, I'm just a marketer, and I am able to easily make images. It is intuitive, they also have a lot of tutorials that are super helpful for a non-artist, and they also provide a lot of ideas within the tool for inspiration. These ideas are templates you can pay for and are already made, but if you don't want to pay you can borrow the ideas to make your own design. Also, images are very inexpensive and different than common stock photos. A lot more realistic.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I can think of - I wish I could have a bit more flexibility editing images. If i wanted to make a particular object in the image stand out and blur the background I can't. It is all or nothing. Oh and I wish it didn't open as many tabs when I'm working with it. But these are all minor things, not deal breakers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It takes a long time for Creative to give me images for social media, and because for us social is not our greatest focus it is not even worth taking their time. I can make the images myself in a few minutes (or hours because I'm not a designer/artist) post, and move on. I get the image the same day and I don't have to plan well in advance.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are struggling to get images, CTAs, and other things that are fairly simple to make but take you forever to get from someone else, do use Canva. It is very easy to use. They offer a trial so worst case you cancel before you start paying.
Watch out photoshop here...Canva makes beautiful design as easy as drag & drop
What do you like best about the product?
Great design and photoshop used to seem daunting to me. That was until I discovered Canva. Now making professional designs is easier than ever at a fraction of the cost. Canva is faster and more efficient than using freelance designers or standalone in-house designers for sporadic projects. Highly recommend for beginner through marketing professional.
What do you dislike about the product?
Canva is missing key features including a desktop app and basic guidelines like rulers. The included stock photo libraries are pretty limited at least for free elements but additional choices are available on an ala carte basis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canva makes marketing, branding, and day-to-day design easier. I no longer need to work with external designers for developing menus or strategic presentations.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Build out more features like rulers and multi-page elements.
User-friendly, fun product
What do you like best about the product?
Canva is very easy to use - I appreciate that they have templates you can pull from but also the flexibility to customize and create your own designs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it was challenging to make the uploaded images show up in quite the way I wanted to, but I managed to work around that and figured out options that turned out to be best for what I wanted to achieve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At the moment we're using Canva for graphics to promote events covering everything from juvenile justice to criminal justice to fair financial services - it's a nice range of issues.
Lacks sharp image quality
What do you like best about the product?
simple tool to use, it has an easy to use interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
lacks sharp image quality, I created a logo using canva fonts, I downloaded at the highest quality, when I uploaded to the site it was blurry.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
not really any benefit so far.
