    Canva – for graphic design

    Canva Demo Page

    Canva is an online digital design platform that allows people without a design bone in their body to easily create amazing social media posts, menus, fliers and graphics. It even allows you to do basic video editing and to create animations as well as presentations. You can download your finished work and share it on social media, print it on your local printer, or send it for printing. A lot of people already use it, but if you don’t you should certainly give it a look.

    It is free to use for ever, and you get access to most tools with the free account, but you can pay £10.99 a month as a single user to upgrade to get full access to their photo library, to get more typefaces and more graphics and animations. But try it for free first. You can even have a play without registering here.
