Overall Satisfaction with Canva
I use it when designing posts for social media and flyers for promotions and events. It's very easy to use and has a TON of beautiful templates that help me expedite the design process. It's also very easy to customize elements - you can upload your own fonts, create branding guidelines, etc.
- Functional and beautiful pre-made templates
- Easy-to-use interface that's very simplistic
- Different formats and designs for different needs - flyers, cards, social media posts
- Only allows a certain amount of additional fonts to be uploaded
- Many of the photos from the library cost additional, which can be frustrating
- Organizing a large number of files/designs can be very tricky
- Makes designing very efficient and time-effective
- It can be difficult to brand pre-existing designs to create a recognizable brand
- Very easy to update files or download in different formats
Canva is a lot more efficient and easy-to-use for quick things - social media posts, cards, flyers - because the templates are so easily accessible and customizable. Using photoshop, I have to start from scratch, which takes much more time! Photoshop is much better-versed in high-res documents and detailed files.
