Adobe Creative Cloud
Adobe Creative Cloud is a suite of applications (including Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Acrobat Pro) used primarily within COCC's Art & Graphic Design programs. Students may use it to create and edit images and graphics, design layouts for print or digital use, produce videos and animations, and develop web content for class projects and portfolios.
In addition to the above, instructors and staff can use Creative Cloud tools to develop engaging course materials and edit content for greater digital accessibility.
