    Pixelied
    Pixelied is an online graphic design suite that makes it easy to create posters, ads, and branded designs for blogs, social media, and other publishing platforms. I am utilizing Pixelied to promote my social media accounts and to get thumbnails created for my YouTube channel. I use the photo filters to adjust the color of my photos, the mockup generator to piece together images with different backdrops, and the stock images and vector elements collection to add more detail and dimension to my designs. The templates allow me to create banners, image posters, and quotes. I found it easy to use because I could edit my own content without having to learn advanced design features. The templates helped me get started quickly and had everything I needed, from fonts down to icons. The photo filters were fun—they gave me an idea of how photos would look with different colors or patterns applied before I actually used them on my final designs. The only thing I didn't like about this tool was that adding images could slow down a layout if there were too many of them at once (like when you're trying to make a collage).

    We are using Procreate less and less as Adobe tools catch up with more iPad applications and sketching styles, but Procreate is still superior in flexibility and online tutorials. We are using other, more formal tools more, just because the changing nature of work is less illustrative.

    Cons
    Pixelied
    • Performance can become sluggish, particularly when adding new photos or vector elements to the layout design.
    • Pixelied can incorporate a broader assortment of creative stock assets, similar to Canva.
    • The options for modifying the composition's color scheme, adding customized elements, and personalizing the brand can be enhanced.
    • The basic options for moving, scaling, and rearranging layers and backgrounds should be accessible by right-clicking in the composition itself rather than through tool sets in the upper right sidebar.

    • It would be nice to make it easier to turn drawing processes into animations.

    Alternatives Considered
    Pixelied
    Pixelied offers a more straightforward and brisk workflow for designing and editing images compared to Canva and VistaCreate. This is despite the fact that Pixelied has a somewhat more limited choice of stock photographs and vector elements, in addition to readymade design templates. Additionally, it lacks several fundamental features and functionalities, such as the capability to personalize the different layers and color themes. It also has a restricted number of color themes. Pixelied, in contrast to InVideo and OFFEO, does not yet have any animation or video editing features. However, it does have the capability to design image layouts that can serve as a base for video slideshows and presentations, and it does offer photo mockups. Pixelied is an alternative to 123rf that provides an in-built stock photo and vectors library that is included in the subscription price. Additionally, you do not have to pay an extra fee for each new image that you download. 123rf, on the other hand, is a dedicated website for licensing and downloading stock images; therefore, its collection and diversity are significantly more extensive than those of Pixelied.

    We broadly use the Adobe suite for other applications, so as Adobe tools have advanced, it is difficult to have an outlier in the toolkit, but Procreate still offers a lot of ease of use and competes with more formal Illustrator tools. We use Illustrator a lot for general design work once they pass initial concepting.
