Some may have used a tool such as Canva to help with social media, marketing and document design projects in an easy-to-use interface. Perhaps lesser-known is the official Wake Forest app Adobe Express, licensed for all students, faculty and staff at Wake Forest.

Getting Started with Adobe Express

  1. Request your WFU Adobe license (available to all students, faculty and staff) which provides access to the entire suite of Adobe Creative Cloud apps. This form is automated and can be completed at any hour of the day. Estimated time: less than a minute.

  2. Start using Adobe Express. Log in at express.adobe.com with your WFU account. Power your project from scratch, a template or pre-built design elements.

  3. Learn more at new.express.adobe.com/learn
