Develop Digital Skills
The start of a new year is a great time to set new creative goals. Whether you want to learn a new skill, complete a personal project, or improve your existing work, Adobe Creative Cloud has the resources to help you get there. Use tools like Adobe Express to create vision boards or project plans that keep you motivated and on track.
If you work in the Education Industry, we recommend the following applications to upskill and inspire your classrooms.
- Photoshop and Illustrator: Teach students essential digital design skills. These tools are industry standards, and proficiency in them can open up numerous career opportunities.
- Premiere Pro and After Effects: Introduce students to video editing and motion graphics. These skills are increasingly valuable in a digital-first world.

Improve Collaboration and Productivity
Creative Cloud makes collaboration seamless. Share your projects with colleagues or clients, gather feedback, and make real-time edits. Tools like Adobe XD and Creative Cloud Libraries streamline the collaborative process, ensuring everyone is on the same page.
With Adobe XD, you can streamline your UI/UX design process. You’ll be able to collaborate with your team in real-time to create interactive prototypes and share feedback seamlessly.
Coupled with Creative Cloud Libraries, you’ll be able to organise and share assets across your team, ensuring consistency in your projects by having a centralised library of design elements.
Enhance Learning and Growth Experiences
Don't forget to share these creative goals with your teams. Adobe Creative Cloud offers a wealth of learning resources, from tutorials and webinars to community forums and support. Take advantage of these resources to expand your teams’ skills and stay up-to-date with industry trends. Platforms like Adobe Live provide opportunities to learn from industry experts and connect with other creatives.

With so many projects and ideas, staying organised is key. Use Adobe Creative Cloud's file management and storage solutions to keep your work accessible and secure. Creative Cloud Libraries help you organise assets and ensure consistency across your projects.
