Creating a Project with Adobe Express

Once you have accessed Adobe Express using your Rowan credentials you will be directed to the software's main page, which is used to select preconfigured templates that you can customize. These templates include brochures, posters, invitations, flyers, infographics, report covers, graphics for social media, short video projects, and so much more. The following tutorial provides a brief introduction to the software. After you gain a few minutes of experience take some time to explore the wide variety of options. Though easy to use, the software includes many powerful tools that can help you quickly complete your projects.
