Canva? Geez. Do yourself a favour and get GIMP or photoshop, I think you'll find that not only are they the best software available, but also they look good on your CV

I must admit that nothing can beat with photoshop when it comes to design creation. But for someone who doesn't have proper training with the program, I would prefer Canva, especially that my purpose of having to create blog graphics and other materials needed for my blog can be provided by the site. Though I am not closing my door to learning new things. In fact, I already installed the Photoshop program on my laptop but unfortunately, I couldn't devote time to learning.

ok, well have it your way. Compared to some of the other software I used (Unreal Engine for example) Photoshop is quicker to pick up. Although it may take longer, that training will have exponential value in the long run..just food for thought, and no offence.

It's okay, I understand that you want to share what you know. Perhaps, I can also find enough time to do that. My reason is, if I can do something at a rather shorter time doing something with a similar result, I'll have to maximize it first. My main issue it the availability of time and purpose of using this app is for me to achieve the same result at a much shorter time. But I appreciate your effort of explaining. I use it for my blog. Do you have a blog?

I think for people like me who have very few technical skills canva is the best. It hardly takes anytime once you know how to do it. I am so relieved that I finally learned how to work with this program. Thanks to this thread and a couple of other people who recommended it to me on mylot.

Wow! That's good to know. You will certainly enjoy using it. There are actually a lot of tutorials from YouTube that we can refer to. I learned from those tutorials and I am very happy with the result. I wish you more success with your blogging career.

What did you think of the ones I made on the blog? I know they aren't very good, but I can always use a few tips from the pros. Honestly it is the easiest tool I have tried so far and I am not giving that up in a hurry. Pic monkey was good but you needed to pay for anything slightly better. This is awesome.

When creating a blog graphics, we should think of other people who would come across that image on social media. If you saw a similar image on Pinterest for example, will you click it?

One strategy is to create graphics that will encourage other people to click it and see the article. The font should be readable. The image should possess a certain level of urgency that the reader should not delay clicking it.

I am planning to upgrade with Canva in the near future. They have a free trial which I think is worth to try. I would like to create some graphics which I could probably offer as one of my services.

If you are spending money on graphic designing tool, consider buying and learning photoshop. There is no other designing programs as good as photoshop.

Canva is simple but effective tool, I am also playing around with Canva images on my blogs on a third party site and will be using on my own blogs.

I also am going with Canva and new Vista create tool. I feel both of those options are good. If things work around with this tool I can even use it for creating stationary items.

Recently, I used the Canva resume maker template to make an attractive and catchy resume. If I had went with MS word, it might take several hours to prepare it but by using canva I did it within minutes.

I honestly don't own a blog. I would start looking for these tools once I set up my own blog in the near future.

Initially you don't any third party tools. Just a domain name is enough to start a blog. You don't even need a paid hosting, you can simply configure the blogspot hosting. All the best.
