A note on Canva

Canva is a light, user-friendly design tool that you can use right from your browser, so it doesn't require a high-end computer like some other design programs do. That being said, Canva is best used for the basics. It's a great tool for easily designing simple promotional materials, like rack cards, mailers, business cards, or quote memes without exceeding a small campaign's budget. When you need a high-quality design that you'll use everywhere, like a logo, it's always recommended to engage a professional designer.
