when it comes to graphic design tools and templates, there are numerous options with hundreds of benefits. however, one platform stands above all the others, in my opinion.
when it comes to graphic templates, canva is the king of the world. not only does this pioneering site have hundreds of thousands of professionally designed social media graphics, but it also has video clips, logo design assistance, t-shirt designs, book covers… everything! it covers anything you would want to add an image or video to.
the free options on canva are unbelievable, but for less than the price of lunch every month, you can upgrade to the pro version for free access to more professional graphics and video clips.
seriously, the pro version is insane. canva is insane. the options are insane. and you could drive yourself insane playing with everything.
if i had one criticism of canva, it would be that everyone knows about it. you see canva templates on instagram by the thousands, and it takes a little work to create something unique for you and your brand. what’s more, most of canva’s competitors have the same types of templates. so, there’s a lot of wow out there, but it’s the same wow as everyone else.
if you’re looking for something beyond canva, try picmaker, which has the types of social media templates that everyone does, but they added a feature they call the mad button. pressing the mad button invokes ai that switches up your colors, graphics, layout, fonts and more. with the mad button, you’re more likely to end up with a unique(r) design. plus, it’s fun to push something called a mad button.
