Adobe Creative Cloud
Faculty and staff have access to Adobe Creative Cloud applications for the duration of an active Brandeis account. Temporary faculty and staff, scholars and researchers with affiliate appointments only, and contingent workers do not have access to Adobe Creative Cloud. Students can purchase Adobe directly by visiting the Adobe website.
Overview
Adobe Creative Cloud includes Acrobat, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and may other Adobe programs which supports creation tools for graphic design, photography, video content and editing, and much more.
Getting Started (Faculty, Staff)
To begin using Adobe Creative Cloud applications, you must first download and install the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop application. Once installed, you can select and install individual application(s).

These are guided projects where participants receive creative prompts and connect with pros, mentors, and other students for feedback and support.
