Public Information Officer Government Administration Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great design tool that is easy to use and flexible! " June 17, 2017 5.0 I do not have graphic design experience so LucidPress allows me to create professional materials for my organization. I use this program for everything from marketing materials for our website, social media, and government TV channel to creating newsletters and annual reports. It makes my job so much easier, and I've received numerous compliments on the materials I've created using the program. Pros Provides different print and digital formats. It is flexible enough to meet all your needs, but helps with ideas and templates for design. This is my favorite design software because it's easy to use, and has a lot of options. Cons The image gallery uploads is not easy to group pictures together so you end up with a really long scrolling area of photos. It only allows one upload so if I've already uploaded the photo, I have to scroll through hundreds of pictures to find it. One way it would be easier to use is if LucidPress automatically grouped pictures together per document. You could still have the all images, but it would make it easier to delete and find them. Having the capability to click on an image and drag over to the folders would help too. Review Source Hunter C. CMO Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Business Cards and More" July 16, 2019 4.0 Pros Lucid Press helped me design my company business cards and got them to me very quickly. Cons If you want custom images, you might have some trouble transferring them into the software. Review Source CE Chere E. CEO Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent options" February 22, 2020 5.0 Lucidpress allowed us to create several books and other projects with ease. The templates are terrific, the cost is perfect and the end result is stunning. Pros Lucidpress has provided excellent templates. Cons The site could use more book templates and other options.

General Manager Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Lucid press review Nostalgica" February 24, 2020 5.0 Pros It's easily accessible and shareable for all users and from any locations without needing to download software Cons Resizing is a bit of an issue and the values when direct printing are off Review Source LK Lexie K. Graphic Designer Graphic Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy for Non-Designers" September 17, 2019 5.0 Such a great workspace for non-designers to be creative. Pros I liked how I was able to transfer all my skills from Illustrator and MORE from this software. It has advanced capabilities even though even though beginners can use it too. It puts a lot of pressure off me, as a graphic designer, when writers can create visuals of what they are thinking themselves. Cons This does not replace Illustrator in my opinion since there is just not the same amount of flexibility offered. It is still useful for the writers.

We've also been importing old InDesign projects from our old designer. We're able to have control over certain things like those designs. Pros There are LOTS of templates. It is very easy to use and change things around. There are lots of features that are easily explained. Cons If you don't pay for the premium version you are very limited. There are very few fonts and things you can do to when downloading files. Review Source IA Ismail A.

Our staff, committee members, and interns have all had success in using the software and I love the collaborative capabilities that the software has.

June 15, 2017 5.0 We have been able to create and publish a digital newsletter which is HUGE for our organization. We have subscribers all around the nation and it is fantastic that we are able to provide content for them that is easy to access right from their computers, phones, or tablets. Pros I think we really love the customization of this software as well as our ability to use it online, anywhere we are. This is a huge plus for a small national non-profit with employees that are constantly traveling. Cons I think storage is probably my least favorite.

Pros It's simple navigation and drop in options for the images. Great templates, relevant and functional and well designed. Cons Limits on fonts, styles, colours and how much back and forthing has to be done. Imaging needs to be better organized as well, if you are doing an image heavy document it is so time consuming to constantly scroll through images.It would also be great to have bleeds and grids visible OVER work you are doing, they are useless if they disappear as soon as you add a background colour or images Review Source BA Beverly A. freelance writer Writing and Editing Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Desktop Publishing Software " April 28, 2019 4.0 Pros Lucidpress is a wonderful desktop publishing software.
