Canva Review

Description

An easy to use, online graphic design platform. It offers many design templates, images, tools, and more. You can use it to make social media posts, flyers, posters, invitations, ads, etc..

 

Access

It's free to use, however some photos and layouts require users to pay when they download their design. It is available on the iPhone, iPad, laptop, desktop computer, but not on a Android phone. 

 

Sample Usage

Tips, tricks, and tutorials

The website has many tutorials on how to use their features and a variety of blog articles on how to apply design principles in your creations.  

 

 

What the Tool Does Well

Beginners in design would like this platform because it's very easy to use. It's like Photoshop but simpler. 

 

What it Does Poorly

On the iPad there is no elements tab so you can't add shapes, lines, icons, frames, grids, illustrations, etc.. Also, there is no profile page for you to display your designs to get feedback and you can't see other peoples' designs.

 

 

What happens when you...

On the laptop, sometimes when you click on the drop down arrow on the toolbar to see more options, it runs off the page and you can't see it completely. So you have to move the whole image around or click on other areas of the image until you can see it fully.
