One of the most successful ways of communicating today is through social media. Students will most likely check out your Instagram account before they will ever show up and check out your youth ministry. This is why it’s so crucial to have a great social media account. It really doesn’t take a full-time graphic designer to make your images look incredible, it might just take a few apps to help you step up your design game.
Here are 5 apps to help you communicate better on Instagram.
Canva
This is the app if you don’t know anything about design. This is the simplest design app out there. Quickly make stunning images. Check out the app here (free).
