Always Learning

Besides working as a shift manager I also handle social media and product description writing for a stationery company. One of the main things I do daily is organize content and post on the different platforms. This week I attended a webinar over how to use Pinterest for your business. While it was very helpful, I also learned about a website that provides images, templates, and more to create amazing visuals that you can then use for what ever you want. Some of the features cost money but there are a lot of great ones for free. 

I wanted to share one of the images I've created using Canva (the graphic design website) that incorporates stock images, great colors, and a product image from Lemon Tree. It's a simple website to use and it's very handy since it allows you to combine your own images with free (or paid) images and accents such as backgrounds, illustrations, templates, and more. I will definitely continue to create social media images using Canva and will explore the other types of images as well (think info graphics, ads, and cards). 

While I enjoy Photoshop and Illustrator, I think Canva has a slight advantage with the templates and provided inspiration. Stay tuned for more great images! I may try to start creating some for my own use with design and promoting my apparel design work.
