Designing Your Work - Canva

There is a whole lot of things that goes into writing, aside our creativity in terms of text and the interesting nature of perhaps what one seeks to share or discuss with the community, another very important factor that we always ought to consider is the aesthetic appeal of our writeups.

And so in my previous discussions with the community we learned about the used of markdowns as well as images to enhance the beauty of our work to make it more attractive and appealing to our readers, we looked at some sources of these images where we could get them for free without finding ourselves with copyright issues.

Obviously, we are all very much aware of the importance of citing sources, ensuring that we are original thus we may contribute to the proof of brain system as hive works and avoid plagiarism so we do not insult the intelligence of other authors from other sources.

Today i want us to look at another aspect of image addition to our writeups, designing. Our thumbnails representing our entire work should be able to present a summary of our work just by looking at it, it should be beautiful and have the necessary information, in short, it would be ideal if we could always find time to design that before we put our work out there as it makes it very beautiful and attractive.

When it comes to this designing that i am talking about, it could become a headache sometimes especially when you are not a graphic designer or have a skill in that aspect of tech and so for those of us who finds ourselves in this category we are lucky enough to have some avenues with existing designs which we can alter to suit our course.

Whiles some of these avenues tend to be free others tend to be paid service only and then there is the paid aspect of the free service where some designs are off limit lest one has premium account. I want to use the opportunity to introduce you to Canva. Canva is one such avenue as the latter. Canva has the web based platform and the mobile application and so whichever suit you, you are good to go.

The interface for both web and mobile are very simple and easy to navigate and use and you get to have high definition or higher grade of images saved after your design or work is complete. And the process of editing is as simple as it can be, you get to select from a varied set of designs for your work and there are different categories you can always explore. A believe a good number of us already know canva however not all of us do so this is the opportunity to learn and explore.

I have been using canva on the blockchain for as long as i can remember and it always tends to help me come out with nice designs that i feel proud of, sometimes i smile and i say yes this is perfect. So let's design our works, let's give canva a try. Let me have your feedback if this is the first time or if you have already been using it and how it went with you or has been for you.
