Canva, a web app that wants to make graphic design super easy, launches today

The creative industry is undergoing a revolution of sorts as startups are creating all kinds of apps that democratize what once were exclusive and expensive tools of the trade.

Instagram, which lets users apply all kinds of photo filters at a press of a button, is just the beginning. There’s Narrative Science, which crafts grammar-perfect articles from data; Knack, which lets users create web apps without needing to code, and Piktochart, which simplifies the creation of infographics. In any case, Canva holds a lot of promise in giving everyone access to cheap yet sophisticated-looking layouts. But I doubt such tools will entirely displace the profession anytime soon. In fact, it could help designers work more productively and act as another monetization channel since the platform enables creative professionals to share their layout and photos with others.

While there’s been a lot of hype about how apps like Instagram are replacing professional photographers, the creative industry ultimately involves aesthetic taste, an eye for good visuals, and creative spark.

That won’t be as easily replicated.
