All Small Organizations Need Canva

Canva can be a great tool to help lean marketing teams create quick and beautiful graphics for use online, in print and so much more. Between social media graphics, branding guidelines, presentations, and print-ready designs, Canva is eGuide’s go-to resource when it comes to creating graphics under a deadline. To help elevate your Canva-game we’d like to share some hidden little gems that can make your life, save you time, and have you using the platform like a pro.

Tip 1: Display Rulers and GuideLines

Lining things up can be tricky, is it a trick of the eye or is that actually aligned to the left? Canva has a few different tools to help you achieve the perfect alignment

Display rulers and Guidelines

By going up to the top left and clicking on file you can open a whole new world of print production possibilities. Setting up guides, using rulers and margins and even letting you make sure your images bleed off the edge properly for your printer are all at your fingertips.

Tip 2: Leave Comments While Collaborating

If you have a team of designers you know how emails back and forth for revisions can become daunting quickly. Well that can be a thing of the past with the collaboration features in canva. You can leave a comment directly on the design itself for you designer to check back on and make edits, all in canva! No emails required.
