5 cool things to do with Adobe Express

This guide will show you some of the top projects you can make with Adobe Express.

1. Logos

Whether you want to start freelancing as a designer or are just interested in creating alternative logos for existing organizations, Adobe Express is the perfect tool for logo design. Using the app, you can create your own fonts, colors, and animations.

Adobe Express also allows changes to borders and layouts, and you can choose from a variety of design assets such as textures and illustrations. Some of it is free, but you'll have to pay to access everything. This app also allows shape changing and Adobe Stock browsing.

You can add pre-made logos in Adobe Express but will need a paid subscription. Select Logos on the Adobe Express home page to get started.

2. Instagram Stories

Putting more effort into design is one of the best ways to improve storytelling in Instagram Stories. Adobe Express allows you to create Stories from scratch, but you can also choose from a number of pre-designed templates. Just like when creating a logo, you can change colors, text, etc.

To design Instagram Stories from scratch in Adobe Express, select Instagram Stories at the top of the home page. If you want to create a Story from an existing template, follow the steps below.

4. QR code

QR codes help direct people to your website or Instagram account. Creating static and dynamic QR codes in Canva is pretty easy, but did you know you can do the same in Adobe Express?

Once you create a QR code, you can share it both online and offline. People will then be able to quickly access whichever page you want them to navigate to. The best way to create these is to use a pre-designed template. Look for the QR code in the app's search, select the design you want to customize, and change everything until you're satisfied with the final result.
