Your Adobe Creative Cloud subscription delivers a breathtaking
collection of state-of-the-art creativity tools--for web, print, video,
interactive, digital marketing, UX/UI design, and more. With so much
power, where do you start? If you're familiar with one or two of Adobe's
tools, how do you extend your knowledge to make the most of the entire
Creative Cloud, choose the right tool for each job, and do amazing work?
Start right here, with the only classroom-proven guide to the entire
Adobe Creative Cloud suite: Adobe Creative Cloud Classroom in a Book.
Authored by leading designer and instructor Joseph Labrecque, this guide
reflects his experience teaching hundreds of students at the University
of Colorado Boulder College of Media, Communication & Information. Each
chapter combines an overview of a Creative Cloud app with well-crafted
hands-on practice. Labrecque introduces the software, explains essential
concepts and design principles surrounding its use, guides you through
basic tools and workflows, and then walks you through executing a
project from beginning to end. You'll learn how each tool works in real
life, and how to apply design concepts and theory in your own creative
practice.
Labrecque introduces the fundamentals of Creative Cloud for both desktop
and mobile, Creative Cloud Express, and all these skills:
