Graphics is a very essential aspect of information. Today, I'll be designing a banner which is required for this contest I'm taking part in (Steem SkillShare Community Contest). Good day steemians, I'll be discussing based on the app/tool I used for my own graphics design which is required for this contest. ![golden line.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPNftLA64k9MJx1PuvCfui2EW4cCLqdMWJb53BrbRURjg/golden%20line.png) # THE SOFTWARE I USED FOR MY GRAPHICS DESIGN ![golden line.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPNftLA64k9MJx1PuvCfui2EW4cCLqdMWJb53BrbRURjg/golden%20line.png) There are various softwares which can be used for graphic designs. They include Corel draw, Photoshop, image editor and so on. But in this contest, the software I made use of is Canva. Canva is a software which can be used to create images of different types ranging from graphic designs to photo editing. Canva can also be used for the creation or production of social media related graphics or pictures. This is a very important and essential software. It is very easy to use and understand. ![IMG_20210829_201238.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZm289qRwxqy3Ak92pUqdATzh4VHiU9AVgA5Aw761K5QN/IMG_20210829_201238.jpg) screenshot taken by @omarion1 ![golden line.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPNftLA64k9MJx1PuvCfui2EW4cCLqdMWJb53BrbRURjg/golden%20line.png) # HOW I MADE USE OF CANVA TO DESIGN MY OWN BANNER FOR THIS CONTEST ![golden line.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPNftLA64k9MJx1PuvCfui2EW4cCLqdMWJb53BrbRURjg/golden%20line.png) Canva is a very straightforward app which is very easy to use.
