5 tools you need for mobile graphic designing

By Maureen Eugene and Elochukwu Favour

Tari hopes to design on the go. Frequently, smart designs pop into his head and he would wish he could quickly design them — not just for the money but for his creativity to find expression. However, he feels limited using only his PC since he's not always with it. Sometimes, he could be at Efe’s house and get an inspiration for a design but before he’d get home, he’d forget the idea. He shared this challenge with Efe and Efe introduced him to these 5 tools for mobile graphic design

1. CANVA:

Whether you're using Android or IOS, Canva allows you to freely make your designs from any of them. It's easy and simple to use. Amateur designers find it intriguing to exercise their creative skills with this app. This is because Canva allows you to select designs from a template in which you can edit text and add, remove or modify icons to your taste. One of the most unique things about Canva is that the app makes your design worthwhile for the end-user experience. And if you want to share your designs on social media, Canva is the best option among many.
