https://www.instagram.com/p/CEccO1rjBbR/?igshid=1jxpsbxlr24qt Piggybacking on my previous post about Adobe Capture, I've also been using the program to create quick patterns for multiple projects. https://www.instagram.com/p/B6rSIoxD0Q7/?igshid=1g5ikxluk0xwz Adobe has a pattern option in the camera/image import. I like using it sparingly because it has limitations on the quality produced. The color vector patterns are splotchy; the bitmap patterns are... Continue Reading →
Making Textures and Shapes with Adobe Capture and Adobe Fresco
https://www.instagram.com/p/CEsUN9tjDrV/?igshid=1nu40f3ggoy1u I want to share my newest obsession of late: making easy digital abstract paintings in Adobe Fresco. They’re relaxing to create compared to the more thought-out illustrations and comics. I often make these in 10 minutes while my drawing students work on the gesture warm-ups at the beginning of class. https://www.instagram.com/p/CEs5fD0jalJ/?igshid=o3r4b5n3a25k I’m planning to...

One of the hardest courses I took so far was Desktop Publishing in the Classroom, which focused on using InDesign. InDesign, while not a complete mystery to me like Illustrator, still eludes me on the... Continue Reading →
Adobe Education Exchange: Adobe Xd
In my series of Adobe EdEx posts, I also learned the beginnings of Adobe Xd. Adobe Xd is still in its infancy. It is primarily software for developing UI and UX design. You can create low fidelity wire frames for websites and other design formats and then prototype the links and functions. From there you... Continue Reading →
Adobe Education Exchange: Adobe Spark
I found out recently that Adobe hosted a free workshop site for educators called Adobe Education Exchange (or AdobeEdEx) to learn CC programs and expand on what can be taught in the classroom. I've been wanting to expand all my skill sets when it comes to what I can do at my job, teaching, and... Continue Reading →
