Thoughts on Canva.com
I like that Canva has a teams feature… I’m not great at design… but I can get someone else to do it while using content I’ve already licensed… etc. You have to be super careful about outsourcing design… If they’re using unlicensed media, you could eventually find yourself in hot water.
