I have been following you for a while now Steve and I first tried Canva a year or so back and thought it was an over-bloated application. Then a few weeks ago you showed me how to use Canva to make signatures. Ok, I thought, maybe it's time to revisit this application. I will be the first to admit that I was rather hasty in my first assumption. I am trying it and I am learning a lot. Steve, you keep coming up with these great tutorials. I think it's more we are about the same age, but your way of explaining things is concise and to the point. Not drawn out like lots of other channels.

I have a friend who used graphics as a professional, she shared the free version to let me know about Canva. Game changer. Love Canva

Hello Steve. I had already added this app to my screen and did not know why. Now I do and your information will be invaluable to me. THANK YOU.

Another great explanation lesson Thank you. I have designed graphics for my sign shop with Corel Draw for years. I also use Canva to design all my thumb nails The background remover is very efficient and is a must have if you use Canva frequently. Left like 320

[designpopo]

Thank you for your advice, i think w must see a bunch of design to make our design looks more professional

[RonDoyleVA]

Great job, as always. And thanks for the honesty. I never used Canva since I have no artist abilities either... now I have templates. Thanks again!

[GGCQ]

Hi Steve. Really appreciated this video. Thanks.

[jigsound]

A great intro to Canva! These easily approachable templates seem quite ubiquitous in thumbnails nowadays. 👌

[SuperGeekTattoo]

Great job Steve...very useful information. I thank you my friend.

[elvirabudda]

Thanks for bringing Canva to my attention.

[jackcameback]

Great vid, been using this tool for around 8 months, it's brilliant - one great point, when you get the Pro version, you actually affiliate your youtube channel to it, thus allowing you to have full copyright!

[AmazingPhilippines]

Great tutorial. I will start using Canva today.

[richardmhain]

This is very useful, looking forward transferring to awesome graphics soon. Thanks for sharing...

[marysuze]
