Indeed, it seems to be a good online tool! Combining graphic design + social is a very good idea 🙂
I have been using this tool (intensively!) since yesterday and I am very enthusiastic! I created a Christmas card for my clients without any problems and have just finished my first e-book.
Canva is very intuitive, very well thought out. It takes me a long time to understand how to use this kind of tool, so it’s a real pleasure! I highly recommend Canva
