Visual design is more important now than it ever has been before. The average human attention span is 8 seconds, and you want to utilize every single second you possibly can to catch their attention.
But, how?
There are many different online resources you can use, however Canva is one of the best photo editing tools. They have a multitude of different features which you can check out here. But here are the top 3 best features that Canva offers:
- Canva is user-friendly. Canva has a tutorial at the beginning walking through everything, step-by-step. After finishing the tutorial, they provide you with a help icon. This icon gives you the option of some frequently asked questions or you can also type in what your question is and it will help you find an answer. There are other tools that do have this feature, however, I feel that Canva’s model, executes this better than the other tools.
- Three words: Premade Picture Formats. Trying to get that photo to fit the frame just right? Trying to remake your cover photo and you’re struggling a little bit? Canva has got your back with having layouts, or as Canva calls them grids, to save so much time by showing you how the image you’re editing is looking
- You don’t need a premium plan. Canva does offer a premium plan, for around $12 a month, but it isn’t necessary. You are able to buy specific themes for only $1, so it’s very flexible especially if you’re just trying out Canva. Though if you do want to try out the premium plan, Canva for Work, there is a free 30 day trial, though it depends on what you plan on using the tool for.
