Designing graphics is a great way to enhance your slideshows, videos, newsletters, and more. I love to try new (to me) online graphic design tools and put them through their paces! I recently discovered MockoFun, a graphic design toolset which works right in the Web browser and includes a photo editor, a logo maker, and a text editor.
After registering for an account, and seeing how easy it was to create great-looking graphics, I sent a note to MockoFun and asked if they would consider an education offering. They wrote back and told me the company was just releasing an educational version of the product which provides teachers with the Premium version of their offering for no-cost! You can sign up for that here: https://www.mockofun.com/free-for-teachers/
The MockoFun Online Graphic Design suite includes over 100 templates, 245,000 images and element assets to use and the ability to upload your own images for your design, too. Some items are for sale, but 80% of the assets are free.
COOL FEATURE 1: CURVED TEXT GENERATOR
One of the text editor features that I love is the curved text. I know how difficult is to curve text in some programs. In addition to making it as easy as just typing in the template, MockoFun includes many styles of curved text to pick from.
To better learn how to use the Curved Text Generator, take a look at this great tutorial the MockoFun staff have put together!
I was even able to find an asset in the elements and create my own cool stamp with the curved text tool!
COOL FEATURE 2: THE TEMPLATE GALLERY
The template gallery in MockoFun includes a template for anything you need to create. (And, of course, you can always start designing from scratch, too!)
Following are some of my favorite template categories and some screenshots, followed by the list of all the template types.
