The need to capture patrons attention with interesting flyers and advertisement is extremely critical to library staff’s work. So having an easy to use graphical program that can help even the most novice designer can help elevate designs to the next level. Two free online graphic design programs, Canva and Adobe Express, make it easy for any creative project. While each program is fairly similar, the few difference between the two programs may help decide why chose one over the other.
