We’ve used all three for different clients and projects, and here’s what we think –>
Best Design Tool: Photoshop
Great for designs that need photo manipulation and effects.
Perfect for event flyer designs or clients in the food and drinks industry.
It’s a bit hard to learn the software and needs to be purchased. It’s best to hire a designer for better results and to save time.
Best Design Tool: Illustrator
It’s the perfect software for creating custom illustrations. It can help your flyer look fully branded. It’s also great for clean-looking designs without many effects.
The best feature we like with creating designs in illustrator is how we can use it in larger applications without losing quality. Perfect for print marketing designs!
Best Design Tool: Canva
The best thing about it is how our clients can easily edit and work on adjustments on their end since it’s easy to use. It has both free and paid options. The problem is its limitations when creating fully customized brand elements and working on photo manipulations.
You can use this if you don’t have established design elements and your flyer does not require a custom or complicated designs.
