Canva is a streamlined graphic design tool software and website (canva.com) founded in 2012. It uses a drag-and-drop format and even allows proportionately large and small shapes and provides access to over 60 million of photos and 5 million vectors, graphics and fonts. It is used in the same way by designers, as by professionals in the sector. Its tools can be used for both web design and print and graphic media. The website offers a catalog of more than 15 million customizable templates to edit and create your own projects. The templates have their own images, styles and text design, and the size corresponds to the social platform and the use (banners, posts, stories, web). These can be used by modifying the preset elements to be able to design an image. An infographic can be made with this program and it is easy to use. The user has to register on the Canva.com website and later they can create the designs they deem appropriate. You can also make time lines, etc. |
