ADOBE CREATIVE CLOUD

Adobe is the industry leader in design software for good reason. They make a lot of great products that are really useful in a variety of situations.

Here’s a really fast overview of (almost) all of the programs that they offer:

The Adobe Creative Suite is normally VERY expensive, but because you were wise enough to sign up for this class, you get access for FREE at school and at home! Everything is installed and should be ready to go at school, but if you want to use the apps at home, follow these instructions:

To start, you need the Adobe Creative Cloud app on your computer. Go HERE to sign in (or Google it and click sign in…).

Your sign in is your school email address, which is your username@sjasd.ca (ex: c.morebutts@sjasd.ca)

Then you’ll go to your Creative Cloud home page.

Download the Creative Cloud app

Once you download that, open it, and sign in with that same email address. From there, you can install as many Adobe apps as you like!
