Prompt 6

This week, I created a presentation using Canva. This is an online site used for creating infographics. I created one for the Automotive Engineering career field.

The reflection:
From the list of possible websites, I used Canva. I chose this one because I had heard about it from my peers and heard good things about it. One challenge I faced was how intense the creation screen is. There’s a lot going on and it’s very hard to navigate as a new user. I didn’t like how the templates all had pre-generated graphics yet when you chose those templates, the graphics couldn’t be manipulated or changed to match your own topic in any way. One really useful tool I found was the ability to embed a Canva into Html, which is seen above. Adding media like images or videos is also relatively straightforward which made creating this presentation easier. I’m not certain if I would use this again. There are other websites and services I would like to try out before coming back to this one as I wasn’t totally blown away. One service I’d like to try out is Adobe Spark or Weebly.

UPDATE: Upon publication, it looks like Canva’s embedding service does not work. This is a severe drawback to the service and I would not recommend using it. To see the design, please click the link below the bottom of the grey rectangle or below this paragraph.
