Any person who spends an ample amount of time on Pinterest or Instagram has to have the same question as me: How do people get those perfect pictures or graphics with the stellar fonts?
Ok, so maybe I am the only person who has this question. But starting my journey with this blog, I decided to find an easy, cost-friendly way to start this process. I am sure there are lots of different apps, sites, or programs out there, but I thought I would share one that I have recently found that has tickled my fancy. Canva is a simple graphic design website that can help you create images to jump start any social media page. All of the graphics I have on the blog have been created with Canva. With my schedule, I have found it to be quick, efficient, and works best for what I want to use it for. I definitely do not claim to have any background in graphic design; I am just a girl who likes to play around in Publisher. Also, I do not a lot of extra income to buy fancy programs, so this was a great find for me. So let's break it down: Pros: -Free to sign up! Free to use many templates and fonts. -VERY easy to use an navigate. -Easy to download your designs to your computer or phone. I actually started with the app on my iPhone and then moved to my computer. -You start by choosing the different template for social media you are using. For example, if you are creating a Pinterest graphic, you can choose that right away. This way it is creating your design already fit for the certain media. No blurry images! -The app is also free! Cons: -I tend to be drawn to the templates that cost money. However, most of the templates are only $1.00! -I haven't really explored using the design I create with multiple different medias, so I am curious about how that will work. -Depending on the background you pick, sometimes the Canva logo is visible in your finished design. -It can take some time to go through all images, fonts, and the extras you can add onto your design. Overall, I feel this is a great site and app. I know there are probably a lot more out there, but this is what I have found to work for me right now. I do not claim to be an expert on this app or anything related to this app, I just wanted to share a tool with you that has made creating Love what you see?
