Okay, but not the best...
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I could just jump in and start using Canva with barely any instruction. The design templates are pleasant, and the free graphics are sufficient. I used it to make a weekly work newsletter, so it was okay in terms of choosing the layout, colors, and design elements.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes a lot more effort to create something simple than I think it needs to be. It's basically intuitive, but I ran into blips with saving and re-using the same layout for a weekly newsletter. Sometimes I was not able to login properly due to the site being down for example. You have to pay for a lot of more interesting layouts and graphics.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed to make a simple weekly newsletter for work and this was a relatively simple and free option, which also allowed multiple team members to edit. It was somewhat intuitive but not as fast to use as I was hoping.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Worth checking out, but may not be as fast or convenient as expected.

User-friendly Designing for the Not-so-Creatives
What do you like best about the product?
I like that the design options are already available to use. The design team creates themed designs for different holidays, which makes it fun to check up on regularly. The design options are available in the range of sign options; from traditional poster printing to social media memes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Naturally, I dislike what anyone dislikes: to pay for designs and icons. I do purchase icons regularly, but not often. For personal use, I go for the free items. For work use, I tend to purchase designs to make sure I create the most attractive products. I wish I can add a second user to my account.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I organize events on campus and Canva.com allows me to create quick and attractive flyers for printing and social media in order to promote my events.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Canva is a great tool for anyone who is in charge of promoting events in their organization. I personally do not have design skills, so this service allows me to create really attractive posters that I often get complimented for. It saves time and money.
Great experiences with Canva!
What do you like best about the product?
You can create amazing content! so easy!
What do you dislike about the product?
paying for each item that you wish to include in your work. I wish it was all free!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to connect with visual learners and have them attend more events! Our growth has expanded by creating visual leads and products in canva.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take advantage of the tools to create visuals for your company or business! Free tools that can be able to transform any website or event!
Easy to use web based graphics software
What do you like best about the product?
Templates for a variety of topics and final output formats. An item created in 1 format, for example, a social media post can be resized to another format with one click.
What do you dislike about the product?
The search feature does not have a filter option. If i want to search for a clip art using a keyword for example school, I can not filter the results to only show the free graphics.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating social media and email header graphics quickly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a good tool for creating quick graphics while maintaining a professional look.
Intuitive, easy and 100% designer approved
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to change the color of every asset, even when they're embedded layers deep in templates
What do you dislike about the product?
I really wish that I could filter by "Free" and paid assets, it is definitely a pain to try and find only the free ones. I work at a university library, so it's a non-profit and it is not the easiest to get spending approved!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It will always take me longer to design a poster or flyer I feel really confident about in Photoshop as opposed to Canva. There have been many times even in the past couple of weeks where I have been able to lessen the turnaround time considerably by using Canva.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Designers will find ready to go templates and plenty of functionality in Canva. If you're not a designer, you'll find can't go wrong templates and an extremely intuitive interface - highly recommended. Someone on every marketing team should know how to use Canva.
Canva for On Site Advertisements
What do you like best about the product?
I like Canva because it allows me both the opportunity to create an advertisement from scratch and to select a template to get something done fast. I use the free side of the program and even that is more than enough to get the job done perfectly. The program is very easy to use and it only took me one day to get it down.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that I don't like is that the template font choices are locked in and if I want to change the spacing I cant.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used Canva to redo a lot of the preexisting signage that was around the campus. The program makes it very easy to create eye catching posters in a fraction of the time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Canva is a very user friendly program that allows people to great advertisements quickly. I both use their templates and create from scratch.
I suggest Canva to every marketer I meet
What do you like best about the product?
The layout of Canva is SO user-friendly. Since I am not naturally graphic design-oriented, the templates and tools Canva offers for even free users are so essential to learning the basics properly! I highly recommend this program to anyone who asks.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much that I dislike about Canva- honestly, because I just use the free version, I have not had need to communicate with the customer service base or anything. But sometimes "Tom" from Canva emails me a few too many emails, trying to get me to buy things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All of my marketing templates can be based off their templates and layouts. It's so essential for me because it lines things up nicely and helps me to understand spacing and aesthetics, and I feel like I am learning more and more every day!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try! Honestly, it's so simple, and there is NOTHING to dislike.
Love Canva
What do you like best about the product?
It's extremely easy to you, you can play around with different designs, share out your designs and get input from your team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the system does freeze and I will sometimes lose the work that has been created, but rarely does that happen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to create graphics in the moment is extremely helpful. Working in social media you need to be able to jump on to something really quickly and not always do we have the time to sit and send something over to our creative department. Canva lets you design quickly, download, and post up to your channels.
LOVE CANVA
What do you like best about the product?
It is so incredibly simple to use and requires no prior knowledge of web design. I love that you can upload custom fonts, re-size previously designed graphics, and that they listen to the community and update the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Servers sometimes get overloaded and designs stop saving.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Social Media design assets have a super quick turnaround that don't require going through an agency or brand partners. It also has a large library of free stock images which also eliminates are large cost that is usually required by stock image sites.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are new, do the tutorials and learning materials. They are incredibly useful when learning how to navigate the program and all of its features.
Also do not forget that you can upload custom fonts, logos, and other branding materials if you upgrade to the business account. Highly recommended!

Canva: Free Graphic Design Tool Will Make You Feel Like a Pro
What do you like best about the product?
I love the simple, tasteful layouts of the design templates and the wide variety of publicity platforms for design (social media, resumes, infographics etc.). It makes anyone feel like they can tackle creating their own design for promotional purposes, it is very user friendly, and every time I log on, there are always new templates added to the line-up.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you have anything more than a basic understanding of Microsoft Publisher or any Adobe or other design products, the editing features on Canva may frustrate a more experienced designer. Canva really streamlines the design process, so starting from scratch with a design or attempting to modify a templates' overall design may be a challenge. For quick, simple but visually appealing designs, Canva is perfect.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has helped me gain confidence in testing out my own designs, and has helped me teach other people in my office about the basics of designing flyers or social media images. I have realized that it is very user friendly, and leaves an impression with its eye-catching designs. I can quickly and easily respond to feedback on my designs with the online format, and the variety of downloadable file types makes converting my designs a simple process.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have little experience, this is the program for you. Consider starting with Canva for simple mock-ups of designs if you have more experience, then see if you can add more detail later. Make recommendations to Canva about other templates they could provide. I think adding a policy brief section would be extremely helpful.
