DIY Design Apps are amazing but..
are you using them correctly

Don’t let my colleagues know…but I use CANVA ALL OF THE TIME! I do. It’s an amazing app. It includes all of the basic functions of Adobe Suite without the extras and none of the $$$. The key commands are the same, fonts, and more… PLUS you don’t have to remember the size of an “insta” story or business card. (3 x 2.5 BTW, first thing I learned when I started my career)

So why do professional designers look down upon these DIY app, besides the fact that they render them obsolete? Because they still don’t make the user an effective designer. The app doesn’t sound alarms when you choose a font that is hard to read, or a color that won’t reproduce well in print, or an image that is the size of a postage stamp trying to be a street banner.

Do I suggest you hire a graphic designer and scrap the apps? Sure if you can afford it. BUT, most small businesses should prob redirect their first profits toward a good bookkeeper (I say that from experience). I suggest reaching out to ME! Who am I? (click here later!)
