Designing your graphics is a doddle when creating with Canva, the brilliant graphic design platform.
I have been creating with Canva for several years now. I worked with the free program for the first few years. Finally, I realised that I was using the platform every day, and there were functionalities I needed, so I began paying for the ‘Pro’ version. This made a massive difference in the designs I could create.
Don’t get me wrong. The free version offers a wonderful array of components that gets the novice (and even seasoned) graphic DIYer very creative designs.
So how do you begin creating with Canva?
1. Create an account at Canva.com and begin with the free version.
