Gardening Guides, Mocktail Menus, and more! - Live From San Francisco on March 28th

Spring is in the air! Get ready for your picnic in the park or your afternoon in the garden with Adobe Firefly and Adobe Express! We’ll create remixable templates and printable resources that will help you spring into the new season. Each Thursday four industry experts guide you through a LIVE interactive experience!

9am PT – Egg Decorating Templates: Use Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Express to create printable graphics and templates to decorate! Then, print your creations to transfer onto eggs or frame them to decorate around the house to get in the spring spirit.

10am PT – DIY Packaging: Create your own template in Adobe Illustrator and use the dimension tool to lock in your measurements. Then, design a bright and colorful look for your custom packaging. Once you’re done designing, print, cut and fold to have your own custom packaging!

11am PT – Mocktail Menu: Use Adobe Firefly to create reference images for your illustrations! Then, trace and illustrate in Adobe Fresco to create the perfect spot illustrations of your favorite mocktails. Finally, use Creative Cloud Libraries to bring your text, illustrations, and animation together in Adobe Express to create the perfect mocktail menu.

12pm PT – Gardening Guide: Cultivate your skills in Illustrator and Adobe Express! Join Emily Poulin as she shows you how to illustrate and use Creative Cloud Libraries to animate and layout the perfect gardening guide for your spring season.
