Design tools are essential for every business. Hiring a designer is is quite fine but what you do not have that budget. Perhaps you will look for some tools online, right? A tool that is user friendly so you can give your content and media some colors too. Photoshop is most widely used tool but someone who uses design tools occasionally download and install one such tools is not a very great idea. It will take lots of resources too.
All computer programmes whether you use a Windows or Linux and may be a Mac comes with graphic design tools. However, those are very basic type. I never used Mac so can't say much about a Mac. May be that is great because Steve Jobs was a great artist in the first place.
But when you need a tool for basic purposes you may need an easy to use Graphic Design tool. A tool that can do quick designs for you.
I am using Canva since many years till now free version. Personally I give Canva Graphic Design tool 4 out of 5 points. Its browser based and works very well for me. I don't need to switch task when I need a simple Graphic. I just open my Canva.com and do it in less than 5 minutes.
I am using this tools since long but I was not sure what to say about it. It was just OK for me to use occasionally.
I work as producer for a reputed company over many years. Nowadays they have started an education news website where my job is to write important news. I do a piece a two daily. Like any other news site in education we also take images from internet sources.
Someday I found an image too dark from source. And there was only image available. I don't like to use image of other at least in my content.
Confused, I opened Canva, did a quick design, and send it to company's CEO for approval.
He is tough person when implementing a new thing. I was not expecting an affirmative answer however it was approved to use.
Only based on this experience I give Canva Graphic Design tool 4 out of 5 Points.
If you want to have a look you can check it over www.canva.com
The tools is easy to use, a 5th grader can use it perfectly. Also its available over Play Store.
Another instance I remember, once I got a client for Web Designing. This assignment was for about a 5 page website. I am full time writer, but because I can do so I thought instead of sourcing why not to do it self.
Next day was a holiday for me. While relaxing I was think over design pattern for the client. Out of nothing Downloaded Canva App for my Android Mobile and made a logo.
Next, I shared this with client and his first reaction was "GAJAB" a Hindi Word which means awesome.
From inside I know I am not a professional designer, yes my visualizations are ok but mixing layers etc might be terrible.
Hence I can surely say Canva is a 4 star graphic design tool for me. Do check it out. Canva graphics will certainly help you in Brand building.
