This is the transcript for 'Adobe Express - Graphics' video.
Speaker 1:
You can use Adobe Express to make stunning graphics, presentations, flyers, posters and infographics.
Before you watch this video, make sure you have watched the ‘What is Adobe Express’ video in this series so you have a complete understanding of the dashboard and workspace.
Once you have opened a template or started your own design from scratch, you will be taken to the editing workspace.
By selecting an existing textbox, you can change the text. To the left of the workspace you will notice you have the option to alter the font type, style, size, alignment and spacing.
Further down you can change the colour, the line thickness, the layout of the text and more. The tabs along the top give you options to add effects and Animation to your text.
To delete text, simply select it hit the trash icon, or simply hit ‘delete’ on your keyboard.
To add new text, select the Text icon from the far left menu and hit ‘Add your text’. You can also select from styles below, or search for specific text options.
When you select an image, you will notice the image editing panel to the left appear. You have editing functions such as colour adjustments, opacity and other effects. At the top of the panel you will notice that you can remove the background, erase certain parts of an image and more.
To add a new image, select the ‘media’ icon on the far left menu. You have three options. You can upload from your own device, ‘Generate Image’, or you can search the extensive Adobe Stock library without worrying about copyright guidelines. As you scroll down you will see types of media such as photos, videos and audio. Hit ‘View All’ to see more. These options appear as tabs at the top of this panel also. Simply select the image you like and it will appear in your design.
The "Elements" tab allows you to add objects and other design assets to your page. Browse the different categories in the tabs at the top and select an element to add it to your page. You can then resize, reposition, and customize the effects of the element.
Once in the design you can move your image by dragging, resize it by dragging from the corner, and crop it by using the handles on the horizontal and vertical side lines. The circular arrow will allow you to change the angle of your image. A double tap will allow you to move the image within the frame.
Right clicking any element, image or text will provide more options, such as moving forwards or backwards, duplicating and locking in place.
All changes will save themselves.
All changes will save themselves. It’s a good idea to change the name of your video by selecting and typing over the Untitled document in the top left of your screen.
When your design is finished, you will find your download and sharing options in the top right hand corner of the window. Under ‘Share’ you will find many options, such getting a ‘View only’ link or converting it to a template. Under ‘Download’, you will first need to choose the type of file you’d like. For a graphic, PDF, PNG or JPG will work well. Dragging the ‘Size’ slider up will give you a better quality graphic and a larger file. Select ‘download’. You will find your work in your computer’s ‘Downloads’ folder.
Have fun creating!
