Why is it a good practice in the digital area?
The interactivity of the site makes Canva a great example in the area of digital dissemination. Not only can it be used from anywhere in the world – through the website or mobile app – but it also offers simple and fast solutions to create digital content without the need for design skills.
In a pragmatic way, Canva provides a wide gallery of templates created by professionals, which can be customized according to the needs of each user. These designs can also be used as a source of inspiration, allowing people to create their own templates.
The platform also includes other complementary services such as free image and video stocks. This addition allows users to easily access images, graphics, illustrations or videos and use them directly on the platform, without having to check other websites, which is a great help for people who are not used to the concepts of image banks.
In addition to all this, Canva allows users to create a free personal account to save and share their designs. Sharing can be done directly to social media platforms or privately using a link. This allows the user to share their project with co-workers or their team, making it easy for more than one person/device to edit the same project simultaneously.
