Creating Stand-Out Digital Content Begins With Design

Canva, Adobe Express, and InDesign are popular platforms for creating incredible designs and supporting assets. While professional and experienced designers may prefer InDesign, Canva is a free platform that simplifies the design process so that anyone, regardless of skill level, can design like a pro. Similarly, Adobe Express has a library of templates that enables anyone to create professional-looking content in record time. The best part? Issuu integrates with all three, so the create-to-publish process is seamless.

Canva

If you don’t have a Canva account, creating one is easy. Just go to Canva and complete the registration process. Once you’re registered, you can browse the many templates available. They’re designed for various purposes, such as catalogs, magazines, flyers, reports, etc. Creating a multi-page document is simple and intuitive. You can add as many pages as you need at any size. Once your catalog, brochure, or magazine is completed, you can share the PDF in Canva to Issuu, where it’s instantly converted.

Adobe InDesign

If you prefer to use InDesign, Issuu has a handy free extension. You can easily download it from the Adobe Marketplace and utilize the platform’s templated styles, which make sharing stories optimized for your favorite social channels easier with just a few clicks. Maximize your content sharing and marketing capabilities with InDesign. Once the extension is loaded, start using it by selecting File > Issuu > Create Story. You can format your InDesign documents and share them across the major social media platforms.
