A brand new way to create graphics
Microsoft Designer is a cloudbased design tool that helps you create professional-looking graphics and images without prior design experience.
It uses artificial intelligence to generate ideas, suggest layouts, and automatically apply styles to your designs.
Best of all, it is free to all users with a Microsoft 365, Xbox, or Windows account. It can be accessed from any web browser to use on your computer, tablet or phone.
It is easy to use even without design experience; you can create beautiful graphics. It can include infographics, posters, logos, presentations, social media posts and more.
It’s an excellent tool for creating custom images for your website or blog. The software is designed to work seamlessly with other Microsoft tools, such as PowerPoint, Word and Excel, which can be helpful for users who need to create design elements for documents or presentations. It is also easy to share your designs with others, allowing them to collaborate or edit them.
For example, I asked Designer to “Design a travel poster for The Western Weekender Travel Show for an event on December 15”.

It generated about 15 different samples. They were all high quality, with fantastic graphics and all the relevant information, including the event date. Once you choose a design, you can have Designer provide variations on that theme. with
When you download them, you can have a watermark on the design or make the design transparent for use on websites.

They can be downloaded in three formats – PNG, JPEG and PDF. You can also connect your social media accounts, including LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook and have Designer post the chosen result directly to your accounts.

You can use various templates, including different layouts, styles, and colours, so you can easily find a template that fits your needs. It also has a selection of tools that you can use to create your designs. You can adjust the brightness, contrast, and saturation of images and crop and resize images to fit their designs. The software also includes a range of filters and effects that can be applied to images, such as blurs, gradients and overlays. It supports vector graphics allowing the designs to be scaled up or down without losing quality.
Microsoft Designer is an excellent option if you’re looking for an easy-to-use design tool to help you create professional-looking graphics and images.
It can be found at designer.microsoft. com.
