Learning About Design 12

Greetings and happy holidays, friends! I'm here today to share how handy Adobe Express is. I've used it in the past, but I've become much more familiar with it over the last couple of weeks, and I feel much more confident using it. I’ve had the opportunity to see how helpful it is for marketing. 

One of the great features is the bulk editing tool, which simplifies the process of editing and managing multiple projects or assets at the same time. This feature is especially beneficial when dealing with a significant number of assets, such as images, graphics, or videos, allowing you to make changes without the need to edit each one individually.

Theres Bulk Uploading Assets. Where You have the ability to upload multiple images, videos, or other media assets simultaneously rather than doing it one by one.

 While setting up a new project, you can select and upload several files from your computer or cloud storage at the same time, which accelerates the addition of assets to your project.

Then you have Bulk Editing (for Images)

where You can implement the same design modifications (like filters, resizing, cropping, etc.) on multiple images at once.

 After uploading your images, you can apply changes (such as resizing or a uniform filter) to all chosen images at once, eliminating the need to make adjustments to each one separately.

You can do Bulk Exporting. where  Once you’ve completed editing your assets, you can download or export several files simultaneously.

Instead of downloading each asset individually, you can export all your assets at once in various formats (like JPG, PNG, PDF, MP4, etc.), simplifying the handling of a large number of media files.

Then you also have the Bulk Adjustments in Templates. This is when

Adobe Express also enables you to apply a template or design style to multiple items or designs at once.

Its awesome because If you’re designing a series of social media posts or marketing materials that require a consistent appearance, you can apply a template to various projects simultaneously, ensuring uniformity across different designs.

It's incredibly efficient. It saves time when working on extensive projects that involve numerous assets. 

Using the Bulk feature makes it easy to maintain consistency, as it ensures that design elements such as size, layout, and style remain uniform across multiple assets. Convenience is another significant reason why this feature is so helpful; it allows you to manage everything from uploading to exporting in a single streamlined workflow.

I also learned about the generative fill feature, which utilizes AI to fill in negative space, expanding the picture you have with various options to choose the image that best matches your vision.

This is the image when placed in Adobe Express

I then made sure the image touched both sides of the page and cropped the page so it was the same size at the page i was working on

Then I clicked on resize and chose the option that matches the post I was working on

This is example #1 of what AI generative fill created

Lastly, I wanted to mention the Brand feature, which allows you to create and manage a cohesive visual identity for your projects. You can upload your logo, select your brand colors, and set your brand fonts to ensure that all your designs reflect your brand’s identity. This feature helps maintain consistency across various platforms like social media, websites, and print materials. When designing in Adobe Express, your saved brand assets (logos, colors, fonts) are readily available. You can easily apply them to templates and customize them to meet specific needs. I found this incredibly helpful when creating content for my posts; I chose my logo and brand colors and applied them after selecting a template to achieve a consistent theme that resonates with my brand. Very cool!
