Class 6, Assignment 7

Here are my 4 graphics I created on Canvas

It was tough at first to find things to use that I didn't have to pay for, here is a layout advertising a steak night, to which I added "Come get some steak!!!"

Next was a template for a facebook cover photo, to which I added some funny motivational text.

Next was a valentine's day card. I hope everyone was on a real date and not one in a virtual world (although some avatars are pretty good lookin'........lol)

Last is a shoutout to follow us on twitter!!

As for the questions:

1. Canvas is a website to create images that correspond with things we use in everyday life. For example there are templates for facebook, instagram and twitter posts which all fit perfectly when transferred to the respective website. As Prof. Walsh noted in one of our classes, people are more likely to notice and respond positively to a social network post that contains an image. Things like Canvas can be used to help market via social networks.

2. I would say that Canvas is mostly a vector graphics tool, because pretty much anything you add to the graphic you are working on can be resized and moved easily, meaning most of the stuff is a vector graphic because you cannot do that with a bitmap graphic.

3. Canvas is similar to piktochart because both are used to create an image or poster that will be used elsewhere, and both do so by using vector graphics.

4. Canvas and piktochart are different because canvas has more specific templates like what I mentioned in question 1, which are based on popular social networks.
