Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am using Canva to design my lectures over it and present them. It includes a lot of features and a way to interact with students live by let them join the lecture session live and vote. I like how it provides a lot of videos and photos in one space without the need for any external research.

Pros

  • 3rd Party Integrations
  • Everything in one space. A lot of templates to choose from.
  • Their AI writing assistant is super helpful.

Cons

  • AI for editing images is disappointed. Not working, and not functioning.
  • I would love to customize the borders of the images individually to make for example the right one is 30 angle and the left one is 20 and etc.
  • Their pricing models is super heavy.

Return on Investment

  • Cost savings (design spend)
  • Using Brand Kit/templates made our external materials look more consistent
  • Template-driven designs can look generic unless you enforce brand rules.
