Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Express

Adobe Express is great for creating business and postcards for marketing on the fly. It is also an excellent platform for putting together poster designs and flyers with effortless collaboration with team members. We have used it for everything from album covers to event posters and just about everything else. It is one of the most useful yet underrated Adobe products there is.

Pros

  • Quick design examples on the fly from anywhere.
  • Flexibility, It can be used on a Computer, tablet, phone, etc.
  • Easily collaborate with other team members remotely.
  • Seamlessly integrates with other Adobe creative products for workflow ease.

Cons

  • More QR code customization options would be great.
  • Having an option to convert something to svg or vector easily would be fantastic.
  • Removing the background should let you adjust the selection of what is being removed.
  • It has allowed us to complete more demos and projects in less time by being so flexible.
  • It has positively impacted our efficiency in delivering creatives such as YouTube thumbnails, event poster designs, Instagram story posts, etc to clients in a timely manner no matter where work takes us.
  • I would say the ROI has been seeing more projects completed and invoiced per month. I would estimate overall a 20% increase in volume on deliverables.
Some of the templates are great however, overall, they feel a little cheap or off-brand. So, using templates tends to be more of a last resort for ideas and not for final deliverables. They are definitely better than nothing and still better than most platforms but for Adobe they seem to fall a little flat.
It is intuitive to pick up and use immediately. So for anyone from a fresh beginner to a seasoned pro it works as a useful tool to keep idea flowing. It is always right there for you to knock out a concept even while waiting for your coffee order. It is my go-to design tool.
Spark makes almost all aspects of the design process quick and easy in a way that almost feels like a cheat code. It is priceless when something needs a quick resize or formatting and it can be done right from a mobile device. No need to wait until you are at the office or to stop what you're doing and get your laptop out. Just pull the file in to Spark and you're done! Easy Peasy.
I started on Adobe Spark / Adobe Express before ever trying Figma nad Canva. I tried them after being told how great the were by colleagues and honestly felt like they were cheesy and less adult. The final product didn't feel as polished and the user experience was lackluster. I will never stray from Adobe again.

The best use of Adobe Express, in my experience, has been doing quick posters, business cards, and logo designs with the flexibility of working on any of my devices. I can start an idea on my phone waiting in line at airport security. Then fine tune it on my tablet on the plane and then finalize and deliver it from my laptop when I land. It literally lets creativity and work continue anywhere, anytime.
