Excited today to introduce you to a new website that can help take the groan out of graphics.

Canva, which officially launched this week, is an online design platform which uses a library of ready-made layouts, backgrounds, photos and more and allows you to make your own graphics with a simple drop and drag interface.

The image above, made in a couple of minutes with Canva  [I put the Canva badge on for the post ~ layouts are not watermarked].

You can make posters, blog graphics, facebook covers, cards, collages and more with Canva! The site includes a range of free and premium elements or you can upload your own.

You can change fonts and colours and create custom layouts.

Seeing is believing so this video is a great introduction to the world of Canva and what you can do.

Canva is presently in beta and rolling out accounts to users from this week. Reserve your username here.

I was invited to the early launch of Canva but this is not a sponsored post. I just think it’s a really cool tool you might find useful.
