Say goodbye to your weird Microsoft Paint drawings and say hello to polished, professional Google Drawings.
If you have a personal Gmail or your company uses Google Apps, you can use Google Drawings to create custom visual content. One of my favorite features about it is that it comes with an invisible background right off the bat so you can create custom shapes that can easily be pasted on top of your other marketing collateral -- the perfect way to spruce up an updated ebook call-to-action or even customize a stock photo.
And the best part of all is that you can collaborate with your co-workers on the drawing by sharing the document, just like you would any other Google Document.
And that's just a few possibilities out there of the tools and templates that can help streamline your workflow as you create content for your audience.
