Why should I use Adobe Express?
Adobe Express is an easy alternative to more complicated programs in the Adobe suite. Use Express to make graphics or social media posts for departmental marketing, create classroom slideshows, presentations, web pages, videos and more.
If you have ever used Canva, Adobe Express is a very similar alternative that is supported by the University. With endless templates, graphics, and access to Adobe Stock imagery, it's a super simple platform with an easy learning curve. You can also add the DU brand elements (logo, colors, fonts) to easily add to your designs.
