Canva

We use [Canva] for social media graphics, and for a time I used it for photo resizing when Photoshop was unavailable. We also use it for some larger graphics, primarily ones that are sent out through campus communications to our full body of employees. It is managed by our Marketing and Communications department, though there are some employees in other departments who use their own accounts for their own use as well, such as academic heads who create their own newsletters and manage smaller social media groups.

We use Canva as a way to create professional looking marketing materials. We are using the non-profit version which Canva kindly provides to non-profits.

We use Canva every day, for official social media publications, party planning, image editing, promo material creation, and printing. I also use it personally for creating fun graphics, postcards, posters, etc.

I'm the person in charge of the Instagram account of the organisation. So, I had to find a tool that helps me design the banners and graphic publications exclusively for Instagram as we already had a tool for Facebook graphic pieces. I wanted to reach the Instagram audience - younger and more visual-oriented. I needed a versatile tool that can be used both mobile and desktop and that generates nice and simple graphic pieces without taking too much time. I found that the free version of Canva was everything that I needed.

Great, easy to use design software. Best for simple projects, limited design features but usually the basics of what you need. If you buy the upgraded version you can keep brand docs, fonts and colors all in one place.
