Reply To: Manager canvassing for Canva!

I’ve explored Canva a little bit to see if it’s something we should cover here at CreativePro. The things I’ve noticed that could be problematic for prepress are rasterized type and missing bleeds. Also, it seems to not downsample images when you output to PDF, so some might be too high res to look their best in print.

And of course, there is zero consideration for accessibility.

Someone who thinks design is just making things look “pretty” or “cool,” will think Canva is miracle solution. And it is a frictionless experience. Hence the 200M users. But it isn’t a substitute for an experienced professional who designs with intention and their own unique style.
