What do you guys use and recommend?
Posted by on April 26, 2026 at 1:30 amHello there!
I’m the kind of guy who likes to work on or get involved in different kinds of projects. I mostly work with web development, but recently I accepted a project to manage a bar and restaurant’s social media.
The first task is to create a flyer, a very basic thing. However, it’s been a long time since I last used graphic design tools like Canva or similar ones. I remember that in my teenage years I was very good at Photoshop. Back then, I did a lot of work with it for different clients, but it was just for fun and I never took it seriously.
Now I’m being paid for it as a freelance job, and I need to deliver high-quality work. I also remember that during my development course I had to create some presentations using Canva, and I never liked it. It feels too basic to me (kind of like when a developer has to work with low-code tools, it feels fake and boring).
I don’t like the idea or the concept of it. I prefer using Photoshop and creating things my own way.

If you are already comfortable in Photoshop, switching to Canva for the sake of convenience is just handicapping your own creative ceiling for a workflow you don’t even enjoy.

Figma hits the sweet spot powerful like Photoshop but faster for flyers. Free tier is plenty.
