Design templates for merch and covers
Kittl is built for the kind of design that ends up on a t-shirt or a book cover: display type, textures, badge layouts and vector effects that would take an hour in Illustrator. The template library does most of the work and the editor stays out of the way. The free plan carries no commercial rights, which matters if the design is going on something you sell.
Our note
The free plan carries no commercial rights, which matters more here than usual because the output is merch and book covers meant to be sold. Anything headed for a storefront starts at $14 a month rather than at nothing.
Only on this side
Infographics without hiring a designer
Venngage is a template library for infographics, one-pagers and reports, with an editor simple enough that the person who has the information can make the graphic. Accessibility checking is built in, which almost nothing else in this category does. The free plan caps you at five designs and shares them publicly, so it is a trial with a different name.
Our note
Venngage is the cheaper way into data-carrying graphics, and the accessibility checker is a real differentiator if anything you make gets published. Visme is the fuller tool once the documents get long.
