Overall Satisfaction with Canva
I'm using Canva to design ad mockups, graphs, infographics and various other forms of visual content. I pretty much use it any time I need a visual illustration for something. I personally use it and have recommended its use to others in my department but it is not used department-wide.
- Intuitive, drag-and-drop functionality and customizable templates that makes it easy to design something that looks good but is also unique.
- A lot of very good iconography, fonts, and images that are fully customizable.
- Free for the most part but has good payment options for one-off templates or a monthly subscription.
- Glitchy - often doesn't save or does save but not right away.
- The option to edit the size of your canvas is a paid feature - which is really stupid because you can just make a new canvas and then copy/paste everything. So essentially you're just paying to be able to use a very basic shortcut.
- Canva does not have a direct consequential impact on ROI - although it is free (and even paid options are pretty cheap) - so I guess that's mostly positive
Canva is more intuitive and easier to use than both of them. It's also far, far cheaper. I'm sure if you're a professional isslustrator there are things you can do in Adobe Photoshop and illustrator that you can't do in Canva but for basic graphic design like logos and cover photos I think Canva wins.
