Today’s quick tech tip….
This online tool will let you be your own graphic design pro
Have you noticed that many modern websites feature pro-quality graphics and images?
Well here’s a little secret for you…
A large percentage of those awesome looking graphics were created by small-time bloggers and webmasters, not graphic design pros.
There are several powerful, yet easy-to-use online apps that make it easy to design pro-quality graphics in minutes, even if you have the creative abilities of a rock.
I’ve tried several of these tools in recent years, and my favorite by far is Canva.
Canva offers two premium options but I’ve found that the free plan is more than adequate for the things I create.
Like I said above, this awesome tool is easy to use. You’ll find plenty of help, instructions and tips right here.
Click on over to Canva and check it out.
