It currently has over\u00a010 million users across 179 countries. It&#8217;s also considered to be one of the easiest graphic design platforms available at the moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Canva is considered to be one of the easiest (according to some THE easiest) graphic design platforms currently available.\u00a0One of the biggest challenges with graphic design is learning to use software like Adobe Photoshop, a fairly complicated programme. Canva\u00a0eliminates this learning process and doesn&#8217;t expect you to be an expert designer to use it. How is this possible?<\/p>\n<p>One way with which\u00a0Canva\u00a0simplifies the design process is by using an easy, intuitive drag and drop system which makes adding, removing, and editing elements\u00a0extremely easy. You can choose between\u00a011 available templates or customise your document from scratch. It also provides over\u00a08,000 free and paid layouts.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, it offers a free photo editing tool, colour palette generator, and font combination tool, along with a database of over a million photographs, graphics and fonts. Many of the images are for the Premium package, which will cost you $1 per image, but you can easily upload and use your own images.<\/p>\n<p>All these tools can be used for both web and print media design and graphics. Canva is free for individuals, but also offers a \u2018Team\u2019 tier at $12.45\/month,<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.sun.ac.za\/it\/files\/2017\/04\/canva2-1-300x223.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"223\" align=\"left\" \/><\/p>\n<p>SOURCES:<br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/ www.wikipedia.org\">www.wikipedia.org<\/a><br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/2079100\/canva-review-free-tool-brings-much-needed-simplicity-to-design-process.html\">http:\/\/www.pcworld.com<\/a><br \/>\n <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/canva-making-design-easy-for-a-visual-world\/\">https:\/\/www.cnet.com<\/a><br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/socialconceptsconsulting.com\/my-top-5-canva-design-tips\/\">http:\/\/socialconceptsconsulting.com<\/a><br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/sociallysorted.com.au\/canva-for-iphone\/\">http:\/\/sociallysorted.com.au<\/a><br \/>\n <a href=\"https:\/\/beautifulpixels.com\/ipad\/canva-design-internet-age\/\">https:\/\/beautifulpixels.com<\/a><br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/createyourlaptoplife.com\/2016\/12\/07\/getting-started-canva-design-amazing-graphics-now\/\">http:\/\/createyourlaptoplife.com<\/a><br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/executivesecretary.com\/canva-a-design-tool-for-the-non-designer\/\">http:\/\/executivesecretary.com\/canva-a-design-tool-for-the-non-designer\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FrgcaRaOhEw\" width=\"560\" height=\"314\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>[:af]<\/p>\n<p><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.sun.ac.za\/it\/files\/2017\/04\/Canva_Logo.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" align=\"right\" \/><\/b>Of jy \u0149 aspirerende, te\u00ebsinnige of professionele ontwerper is, soms moet jy `n pamflet, plakkaat, advertensie of vorm van grafika saamflans.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/about.canva.com\/\">Canva<\/a><\/b>\u00a0\u0149\u00a0Australiese maatskappy, is in\u00a02012 begin om gebruikers in staat te stel om maklik grafika te ontwerp, vir watter doel ookal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Die gewildheid van die webwerf het vinnig toegeneem en binne die eerste jaar is 750,000 gebruikers registreer.

Sagteware soos Adobe Photoshop is duur en \u00a0ingewikkeld. Canva skakel die leerproses uit en verwag nie dat jy \u0149 kundige ontwerper moet wees om dit te kan gebruik nie. Hoe kry hulle dit reg?<\/p>\n<p>Eerstens vereenvoudig Canva die ontwerpproses deur \u0149 intu\u00eftiewe sleep-en-los proses te gebruik wat dit maklik maak om elemente by te voeg, verwyder of redigeer. Verder is daar 11 template beskikbaar of jy kan jou dokument van nuuts af ontwerp.

Van die grafika is slegs beskikbaar in die Premium-pakket en kos $1 per foto, maar jy kan ook maklik jou eie grafika oplaai en gebruik.<\/p>\n<p>Al hierdie bronne kan gebruik word vir beide web- en printmedia ontwerp en grafika. Canva is gratis vir individue, maar bied ook \u0149 \u2018Team\u2019 opsie teen $12.45\/maand.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.sun.ac.za\/it\/files\/2017\/04\/canva2-1-300x223.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"223\" align=\"left\" \/><\/p>\n<p>BRONNE:<br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/ www.wikipedia.org\">www.wikipedia.org<\/a><br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/2079100\/canva-review-free-tool-brings-much-needed-simplicity-to-design-process.html\">http:\/\/www.pcworld.com<\/a><br \/>\n <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/canva-making-design-easy-for-a-visual-world\/\">https:\/\/www.cnet.com<\/a><br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/socialconceptsconsulting.com\/my-top-5-canva-design-tips\/\">http:\/\/socialconceptsconsulting.com<\/a><br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/sociallysorted.com.au\/canva-for-iphone\/\">http:\/\/sociallysorted.com.au<\/a><br \/>\n <a href=\"https:\/\/beautifulpixels.com\/ipad\/canva-design-internet-age\/\">https:\/\/beautifulpixels.com<\/a><br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/createyourlaptoplife.com\/2016\/12\/07\/getting-started-canva-design-amazing-graphics-now\/\">http:\/\/createyourlaptoplife.com<\/a><br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/executivesecretary.com\/canva-a-design-tool-for-the-non-designer\/\">http:\/\/executivesecretary.com\/canva-a-design-tool-for-the-non-designer\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FrgcaRaOhEw\" width=\"560\" height=\"314\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>[:]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[:en] Whether you are a professional, aspiring or reluctant designer, occasionally you have to rustle up a poster, flyer, ad or some form of graphic representation.
