I am eating my words again! For years, I have used InDesign for everything… but Canva had a HUGE update last year which changed everything!!
Have you felt overwhelmed by InDesign? Didn’t want to learn ANOTHER program? Canva is going to be your best friend!!
I understand the frustration of InDesign!! That’s why I think Canva is going to be a game changer for your business! For blogging, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok.. the list goes on! The options for how you can utilize this tool are limitless!
Canva is extremely user friendly, it’s free, accessible from your phone, and so easy to use!! I can design graphics from my iPhone while in the pickup line at preschool!! That’s AMAZING!!! You get access to stock photos, fonts, designs, templates and so much more. There is an upgrade to a PRO account, which I highly recommend if you own a business! This allows you to add your brand fonts, colors, logo, and designs! If you want to give Canva PRO a try, you can click HERE for a free 30-day trial.
Whether you photograph families, seniors, weddings, or anything else, Canva is a tool for everyone to use! In this week’s Youtube Video, I’ll walk you through how it all works.
Canva Templates
Canva has templates built in that make a graphic the specific size for what you’re making.. but you can also resize the entire design to fit on another platform without having to remake it! This is a great way to reuse content between all social media platforms!!
Between making Instagram stories, posts, Blog images, Facebook posts, and more.. I think this tool will be great for you! There are a lot of tips & tricks I have learned since we started using it and that’s what this week’s Youtube video is all about!!!
