But fear not for there are a variety of user-friendly online tools that non-designer types can use to create some visually appealing and enticing materials.
Here we’re going to round up five of them for you, and if you need any additional design advice or assistance prior to printing then don’t hesitate to get in touch. Note that we also provide a design service.
Canva is a free but nonetheless slick tool that you can use to create a variety of visual marketing materials, from posters and flyers to business cards, menus and postcards.It’s simple to use by adapting any of the large collection of templates on offer, then adding artistic text and images, either from the site itself or from your own sources.
