Creating images that make your posts attention-grabbing as well as professional and attractive, how can you do it quickly and simply?

You need an easy-to-use tool that lets you create great looking images with text, and fast…

 One of the best to emerge in recent years is Canva.

 A simple drag and drop, template-driven design tool, Canva is amazing for creating: 

• Any kind of images for Facebook and LinkedIn
• Instagram posts, banners - everything you need
• Business cards, flyers, posters and brochures
• Infographics, graphs and charts
• A4 e-books and PDFs
• Presentations and a whole lot more.

Pretty much any design you need, for print or online, can be created easily in Canva.

It offers you stacks of editable templates to get you started. Colours, images, shapes, backgrounds, fonts - all right there, and plenty to choose from. Even in the free version.
