Designing is hard for me, I never get satisfied. I never stick to one design. My taste for design change at any minutes as my mood swing. Canva solve that pickiness side of me and I have nothing but a positive things to say about Canva.

Insanely Easy

Today, I made three Facebook banners in 10 minutes.

Canva is insanely easy to use. Select the beautiful design; upload your own photo if there’s a need; customize the design, color and text to your liking, click share & publish. That’s it.

That is all.

Canva is a web base designing service, currently still a closed beta site. The good news is you can register Canva for an invite. I received my invitation on Friday and I have pretty good experience with the service so far.

Canva for who?

For tech, foods, travel bloggers…

I can see myself searching for the iPhone photos for my writing as I was testing Canva. I can’t afford expensive photo, free or $1.00 price tag on Canva makes sense. Photos found on Canva currently may not cover various genres for bloggers but I hope Canva would start stocking up more up to the current trend photos soon. I see lots of potential in this respect.

For just about anyone who do not have the expensive tool to design

Not many of us can afford Photoshop. Canva offers a lot of design and layout; from Facebook cover to making your own birthday card. If you hang out on social network you would appreciate the quick way to design your cover art. If you’re starting a business you will appreciate the quick way to design your own business card.

Potential

I love the service. It’s easy to use, clean design and not confusing. You can download your completed work to your PC or Mac or just share it on Facebook and Twitter. Use for personal or commercial? No problem.

Would I recommend this product to anyone? Without a doubt. What’s the downside of this product? Other then you need at least a reasonable fast internet connection, you may need to sign up and test drive it yourself to see if you like the product.

If you are a designer, photographer or illustrator; I highly recommend that you get in touch with the founder Melanie Perkins on twitter @Canva or @MelanieCanva in licensing your work to Canva. You get a royalty payment when people use your work.

My last words…

Experience the DIY design on the web without the needs of special and expensive designing tools just got better with Canva.
