Canva is a simple drag and drop design application that allows you to create graphics for your brand for a wide range of applications, including social media, digital and print.
They have a large selection of layouts, both for digital and print, which can help you get started. The ‘brand kit’ is a useful feature, allowing you to store brand colours, fonts and logos all in one place. Designate team members to create templates and you’ll be up and running in no time.

When it comes to creating, Canva easily gets you started. The ‘create a design’ button allows you to select from a plethora of layouts, from presentations and posters, through to social media, banners and more.
If that doesn’t float your boat, then creating a custom size is just as easy, regardless of scale.
With Canva, set up is key. It’s easy to jump in and start creating, but be warned – things will get messy very quickly. Take the time to set up folders. Creating folders is a great way to keep all your brand assets (logos, icons, textures, photos etc) in one neat area.
I find it useful to create a series of folders labelled ‘Print’ and ‘Digital’ to make it more organised when you need a file quickly. This is a must for anyone churning out lots of varied templates that vary between applications.
With everything in order, you have more time to concentrate on the planning and creative.
Like most things, there’s a bit of doom and gloom. Here are some things to be aware of when using Canva.

Canva is a great tool for creating anything digital.
Being able to grab brand elements and quickly put together social banners is quick and easy – a perfect win-win for brand management.
On the other hand, with so many print templates available, it surprises me that the print side is lacking when it comes to colour modes, file types and image resolutions. But don’t let that put you off, Canva dominates digital and allows for brand consistency at all times.
