My husband is an Architectural
Draughtsman. He provides visual
representations of buildings for persons involved in the preparation of
Construction documents, commercial and residential. His drawing capabilities include 3D drawings
and for the most part, he uses programs that provide this capability. For the touching up on images, and his work
in general, he uses Illustrator, Photoshop, Lumion or Google Sketchup.
Up until earlier in this
semester, I had been exposed to the use of the programs listed above and had
previously even used some of them and the basic programs whenever I was called
to do any visuals for school or otherwise.
I am not a graphic designer and neither is my husband, but for the most
part, we have prepared graphic content for ourselves and others in the past,
using the technology that we knew about.
In my Digital Marketing class recently, I was exposed to the most
amazing and useful tool in the form of a website called CANVA. I have begun using it and my goodness, I wish
I had more use for it!
Canva is a primarily free design
tool that can be used either on your phone or your computer. It provides the user with the opportunity to
create their own graphics for all different purposes. It is pretty easy to manipulate and is used
by people of all genres… business persons, companies, teachers, and students
(like me). Even people who just want to
create as a hobby, can use this tool! There
is so much I can say about this tool but I think I will let you explore for
yourselves….. It might be a lot more fun!

Ps. To answer my initial question… What is
Canva? In my opinion… it is the amateur
digital designer’s dream come true!! I
have added some images I created especially for this post in less than 10 minutes total... I hope you enjoy!
