This week in class we worked with Canva, an online application that lets you create designs quickly and efficiently. This week we had part of Tuesday and all of Thursday to complete three social media designs for a brand/organization. I created a banner for Twitter, a profile picture, and post on Instagram for the organization EMI. This assignment was to be created in a shorter time than we usually have for designs, but Croom pointed out that these pieces were temporary and should be easy and less intricate to create. When using Canva, I enjoyed how user-friendly it was. Canva was much simpler to use than Adobe In Design and Adobe Photoshop because there were so many fewer tools and a variety of designs options created for you already. I also liked that Canva had many different text designs/layouts to choose from instead of having to create your own. I think Canva is a great tool to use for design pieces that are going to be used temporarily and will not be seen for an extended period. Canva is also easy to use for less intricate designs, but I think Adobe In Design and Adobe Photoshop would be useful for print pieces and more intricate designs that may be looked at for a longer period. I think both design applications are great tools to have but be used for at different times when creating PR pieces.
