Adobe Express
All Herts students have access to a free online Adobe Express account. Log-in from express.adobe.com/a/herts.ac.uk.
Adobe Express is a cloud-based app for creative projects, such as creating presentations, images, documents, videos, social media content and webpages.
Unlike other Adobe design software, Adobe Express has been designed for mainstream users, rather than professional graphic designers.
