…and finally, Adobe Illustrator was disrupted. Canva has become the standard for creating visuals without complex design tools. And often times, without a designer background.
Posters, social media images, presentations, banners… As more and more people start using Canva for creating what they need on the spot, the risk of creating poor designs increases. You never know how many horrors the brand police will find!
Hand-offs between marketers and designers can kill productivity. Designers always have too many tasks on their plate, making it real hard to align marketing activities with the company goals. And a lot of companies don’t even have a full-time designer on their team!
Canva does a lot of good towards solving this bottleneck. Designers can create graphics very quickly. And non-designers can also create images without waiting for professionals – which means that teams can move ahead without asking for a budget to outsource the designs for their next campaign.
So, are you experiencing the famous design bottleneck? Is your designer the most stressed person in the team? Perhaps Canva can give you a hand. But before you start a chaotic design factory, take into account these recommendations:
Assign large and sensitive projects to designers. Delegate smaller tasks
Canva is a swiss army, but it’s not fit for more specialized design tasks. Don’t try to design a logo, create icons, or make professional photo edits. Leave those tasks for the designers. Delegate the small things where it’s difficult to blow it.

Create templates and scale
In life and in communication, consistency is key. What we’ve seen work at resolution is asking our designer for a template on Canva that our team can then iterate on and repurpose. That combination gives you the looks of a professionally curated brand with the speed of a blitz attack.
Control Canva with a strong review process
It’s critical to control who is using Canva and what they’re doing. Otherwise, you can end up publishing social media posts that make more harm than good. Sending a confusing message is typical when you have confusing visuals.
And a great way to have transparency over how Canva is being used, is to embed the designs in Confluence.
How to Embed Canva in Confluence
