Faith: My name is Faith. I'm a graphic designer and my company is Just Me. And my one to five rating for Canva is probably a four. I was using Adobe Photoshop before I used Canva, and it was just taking me a long time to boot up and it was super expensive and several of the tools were just very clunky and more in depth than I needed for what I do. I chose Canva because I really like it. It's easy. I can send things to other people to collaborate on. It's a very click and drag format, and it does a lot of the spacing for me, and it has amazing templates that I can customize to whatever I'm doing. Getting started with Canva was super easy. I just put in my name and email, signed up for an account and got to work. I highly recommend Canva, especially if you do social media content or anything like that because you can have it on your phone and your computer and sync changes between both of those, depending on if you're posting on social media from your phone or if you need a more heavy duty on your computer to post a flyer, that kind of thing.

Dave C.: Hi, my name is Dave and I'm a director of a design agency. And today, I'll be reviewing Air, which I give four out of five stars. For more reviews like this, click the link below. Before using Air, I used a variety of different image and file tools that allow me to store them, including Dropbox, but the problem with these tools is that you wouldn't allow you to search and sort visually and that's what I really love about Air. What I love about Air is that you can view your visual assets on a Kanban Board. So let's say if you're trying to work on a project and you're moving images through stages, it's great for that. It has really great search functionality, so if you have a lot of assets you can find them very quickly and you can even tag those assets. Finally, if you are working with clients, you can actually comment on the images, so both parties can really get a sense of, very quickly, if you need to change something or to modify it. It just makes it really easy. Getting started with Air Labs is really quick. You can pretty much just setup an account and you're ready to rock within five to 10 minutes. It's really easy. If you want to try out Air, I recommend basically the free plan. It's really eat generous. They give you a fair amount of storage with it and allow you to most of the features, so I think it's a great way to test it out.
