As a professional designer, I am often asked if I use Canva. The short answer is no, I do not use Canva for my design work. Here is a more detailed explanation as to why I do not use Canva, and why I believe other professional designers avoid using Canva as well.
Canva is a great tool for those who are not professional designers. It is an easy to use platform that allows users to create simple designs without any prior design knowledge or experience.
For this reason, Canva is often used by small businesses or individuals who need to create basic designs for things like social media posts or flyers.
However, for those of us who are professional designers, Canva is not a tool that we would use for our work. This is because professional designers have specific skills and experience that allow us to create complex designs that meet the specific needs of our clients. In addition, we often use specialized software programs that provide us with more control and flexibility than what Canva offers.
So, if you are someone who is looking to create simple designs for personal or small business use, then Canva is a great option for you. However, if you are looking for complex designs or need a high level of customization, then you will need to hire a professional designer.
While Canva is a great tool for those without design experience, real designers do not use it because it lacks the complexity and customization options that professionals need. If you want anything beyond simple graphics, you should hire a real designer.
