CANVA GRAPHIC EDITOR
In this training, I will teach you how to use the Canva graphics editor, which is free
and available from any computer or tablet (mobile phone) with an Internet connection. You don't have to install anything on your (work) computer, everything runs only in a web browser. Canva is a platform used to create graphics, presentations, posters, documents and other visual content not only for social networks, but also for printed and product graphics. The application contains templates that users can use. The platform is also free for commercial use and includes a basic photo bank and font bank for use in graphics. Some features may be available in a paid PRO version, but most features in use are free. You can export the resulting product to several formats, including a printable PDF.
