Canva is a free-to-use graphic design platform without traditional costly subscription costs or complex keyboard shortcuts, it provides a brilliant gateway into the world of design and content.
Launched in 2013, it is now the go-to tool for many in the creative sector and a great option for a business looking to dip a toe into the creative world. With templates and tutorials, it offers a simple introduction to the world of graphic design and can enable everyone to create brilliant branding for their businesses.
Investing in a paid-for account unlocks more features and large libraries of licenced video and imagery all while still being well below the usual costs for graphic suites.
Our Favourite Features
At Nurture Marketing, we’re big fans of Canva. A powerhouse of creative freedom, we use it from socials to stories, banners to branding, presentations to print marketing and everything in between. Check out our favourite Canva features and tools below, and how we use them to create mighty marketing for our clients across Norfolk and Suffolk.
Rechenda, Managing Director, said:
“My favourite feature is the magic image expander. If you miss a bit of an image, just use the expander to fill the space! Easy!”
Amy, Client Services Director, said:
“My favourite feature on Canva is the Brand Kit option. The ability to switch seamlessly between different brand identities with just a click is incredibly useful and means that the colours are always correct.”
Matilda, Content and Design Manager, said:
“My favourite feature has got to be the elements tool. With the ‘Pro’ library unlocked you can build anything from a moving tractor to a dog. The biggest limit is your imagination.”
Emma, Content and Design Executive said:
“I love the wide variety of audio in the audio library. With our pro licence, there’s always a perfect sound to pick. A close second is the background remover tool!”
