How Adobe Creative Cloud benefits students.
Creative Cloud is more than a set of market-leading apps for digital content creation and communication. It’s a comprehensive platform that offers innovative ways of learning, enabling your students to showcase their knowledge, skills and passion in engaging ways.
Boost student engagement.
By giving students the tools to communicate their ideas through compelling digital experiences like infographics, websites, videos and 3D and AR content, you’ll engage them in their learning and help them excel across their coursework.
Nurture essential soft skills.
While learning to express themselves through a variety of digital media, students can practise the soft skills employers want most: communication, critical thinking, creative problem-solving and collaboration.
Create self-starters.
Creative Cloud gives students agency and confidence as they develop their storytelling abilities, build real-world digital skills and gain experience solving communication challenges.
Reimagine coursework with Creative Cloud.
Whether your students are making brochures to present historical research, animations to demonstrate scientific concepts or videos to deliver critical responses to literature, they’ll become persuasive communicators. See some unique student projects made with Creative Cloud.

Patagonia Brand Equity Analysis
Sarunporn’s task was to discuss and analyse a brand’s equity. This project explores a sustainable outdoor clothing brand and includes key concepts and models taught throughout her Brand Strategy module. She created this engaging video piece using Adobe Illustrator and After Effects.
The Magstripe Card
Eugenie’s task was to present the trajectory of the electronic payment system, reflecting on the innovation that made it possible. She harnessed the full power of Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and other Creative Cloud apps to communicate the past, present and potential future of electronic money.
Broadcast Journalism: A critical appraisal
Laila’s task was to create an editorial-style piece of journalism, taking a standard essay and formatting it for print while also making sure her design could seamlessly fit into a screen. With InDesign, she skillfully demonstrated how colours, images and typefaces can aid storytelling in today’s digital-first society.
Damned Dolphins
Kevin’s task was to illustrate how river dolphins are likely to become extinct if environmental issues aren’t addressed. He created customised infographics with Adobe Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator to demonstrate the current dangers to marine animals in the Ganges river.
Animal Symbolism in Renaissance Paintings
Emily’s task was to uncover the meanings of animal symbolism hidden within Renaissance artwork. But instead of a simple presentation, she created something “clickable and fun.” With Photoshop, Illustrator and Adobe XD, she turned the exploration of artwork into an interactive web experience.
PEAS App Design
Oluwatosin’s task was to design an app that benefits the National Health Service by aiding communication. He used XD to design the different interfaces and create a user-friendly platform.
The Parthenon Marbles
Victoria was tasked with creating a learning journal and essay as a part of her “Introduction to Gallery and Museum Studies” module. She made a visual representation of the Parthenon Marbles with help from Photoshop, Illustrator and Adobe Capture.
