Graphic Design has for years been a skill that was gated away from the ordinary users not only because of the need to have experience in crafting any sort of visual elements but because tools for any kind of graphic composition were extremely complicated and required significant time investment for users to learn more about their functions.

However, with the rise of the internet and cloud-powered services, developers from all around the world started creating online apps that are firmly focused on providing services that can truly cater to anyone, as long as they only have a computer that is connected to the web. This, of course, included also graphic editors.

One of the best examples of such an app can be found on Canva.com, an online destination that prides itself by managing to very easily serve both novices and professionals with the tremendously powerful graphic editing service that can be used to create eye-catching 2D designs with minimal effort.
