Canva vs. Other Design Software: Why Simplicity Wins


Traditional design programs like Photoshop and Illustrator are powerful, but they come with a learning curve and a price. Canva is different. It’s web-based, mostly free, and doesn't require any design background. While professional designers may still prefer Adobe, most people just want something quick and beautiful. That’s where Canva shines. It makes creativity easily accessible to everyone.

How Canva Changed My Life as a Student

Image
As a student, I’m constantly making slideshows, posters, and social media content. Canva helps me do all of that faster and better. Instead of wasting time figuring out how to design something, I just pick a template, change the colors or text, and it's done! It also makes group work easier, since I can share my design link and let teammates edit it too. If you're in school and not using Canva yet, you're really missing out. This is a project I worked on last semester, it is a scrapbook about Lebanon's history. Canva helped me by bringing my creative vision to life without any complications.   Canva. (2024).
