Adobe, the name behind software programs like Photoshop, InDesign and Acrobat recently launched a new suite of digital tools targeted at aspiring creatives around the globe. Adobe Cloud Express is in many ways the younger, better version of what you might already know as Adobe Spark.
The latter is a digital tool that’s accessible both on web and mobile. It’s targeted at nonprofessionals who produce web content that includes webpages, videos, graphics and other imagery. The former is simply the new and improved version that comes with all of the old features. But it also has additional features like Adobe Photoshop Express and Adobe Premiere Rush. If you would like to know more about this cool software by Adobe, stay tuned.
What To Expect from Creative Cloud Express?
Adobe Creative Cloud Express is a diverse tool that has multiple functions and can be used to create various forms of content. The list includes social media posts and stories, posters, logos, flyers, album covers, book covers, YouTube thumbnails, resumes, invitations to many events and even food and drink menus. You can also use Adobe Creative Cloud Express to convert, edit and resize images, videos and documents.
How To Use Creative Cloud Express
The entire creative process is made easy and time efficient with thousands of inhouse templates for each of the content formats mentioned above. One of the great things about the Adobe Creative Cloud Express is that it was created for nonprofessionals who want to explore their creativity by playing around with all the images features and add-ons.
Once you’ve selected the template that you would like to use you can edit it to your liking. This includes being able to remove unwanted backgrounds, add text or quotes, add branding, change font color, how things display and so much more.
