Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Creative Cloud Express (formerly Adobe Spark)

I use Adobe Creative Cloud Express for projects with middle school students. I think it's important for them to learn how to use graphic design tools, and Adobe Creative Cloud Express is a kid-friendly option with a lot of different design choices. I use it in my classroom, and all of my students sign up with free accounts.
  • Design
  • Template Options
  • User-Friendly
  • Editing is not always easy
  • Movement and size-changing does not work like Google
  • Final product has watermark without paid subscription

Would you buy Adobe Express again?

Yes

It's a really easy online design tool, so I would recommend it to anyone! I particularly like to use it in the classroom because I think it's a little easier than Canva--a tool that I would say is very similar. There are slightly fewer options, which can make it a little less overwhelming for kids.

Using Adobe Creative Cloud Express (formerly Adobe Spark)

While I think Adobe Creative Cloud Express and Canva are actually pretty similar, I find that kids tend to see Adobe Creative Cloud Express as a little more manageable and less overwhelming. Graphic design can be a little scary, and I think Adobe Creative Cloud Express does a good job at simplifying the process as much as they can.
