Hey guys, Lance here. And today I wanted to do a review of Canva, which is an online design platform I've been using for several years now. I wanted to show you why I like using it, why I continue to use it over the alternatives out there, and then even talk a bit about the free versus the paid version, and also share some reasons why you may even want to consider using something else. Also, if you already use Canva, let me know in the comments below what you like to use Canva for the most. So what is Canva? Well Canva is an online design platform that allows you to easily make a wide range of visual materials, things like logos and flyers or YouTube thumbnails. As far as the cost goes, it's free to use and this is one of the best things about it. But you also have the option to purchase select graphics and photos for $1. Canva also has a subscription service that costs either 1295 a month per team member, or you can pay annually for 119 which comes to about just under $10 a month per team member how The free version works just fine. That is what I've used most of the time, I have upgraded to the pro plan occasionally. So I'll talk more about that in a bit. Also in the description, I'll include links to any special deals, discounts, extended free trials for Canva. Again, all that in the description if you're interested in checking that out. So when it comes to usability Canva is super easy to use. And it's one of the things I love most about it, a grandma can use it, my kids can use it, and my kids actually do use it. So for starters, all you have to do is sign in with your Gmail account and you can literally be logged in and ready to design in seconds. Then on your homepage, you'll find an option to view all of your designs as thumbnails on the same page, which is super helpful if you're managing a lot of different projects. Now if you prefer not to see your designs laid out in front of you, you can also store them in folders. But keep in mind with the free version you only have two folders you can use. Otherwise for three or more or unlimited folders you'll need to pay to to upgrade to Canva Pro. Now one of the questions I want to answer is, what if you're a true newbie, like let's say you're designing your first logo or flyer? Well, the good news is there's no need to be intimidated, although it may still feel intimidating at first. And that's because Canvas layout is simple and intuitive, and the drag and drop format makes it really accessible. You can easily make changes to your fonts, graphics and background effects and play around with your layout. And for me after spending time using the Adobe Creative Cloud or Adobe InDesign, it's so refreshing on camera to see all the editing options labeled with words, not just icons, which really shortens the learning curve. Just as a quick story, my neighbors needed to update a flyer for their vacation home. And the previous flyer they had was on a Word document made in the 90s. So needless to say they were very intimidated about trying to learn something new, but I showed them how to use it and they ended up creating this beautiful flyer that they were happy with. I was impressed with and again, it's just a testament to how easy Canvas is for me. To be able to use something to note though, is that these drag and drop features and labeled editing options are common among most other free design platforms. But I find the editing options on Canva to be more versatile and varied compared to the other free design platforms out there. Now, if you're one of those people who just doesn't trust your eye for design, you can pretty much count on Canva to keep you from making any horrific style related errors. Yes, there are some cringy templates that look just a little too old school in a bad way. But all platforms have their fair share of these. And what I found is that Canva has a lot less and has a lot of great looking templates that I can use, which is one of the reasons I keep using Canva.
