Creating banners, logos and graphics An Online training resource for Staff using Adobe Express

Creating a banner

Resources: what you are going to need

• Access to the internet and your login account.
• A desktop computer / laptop.
• Access to your own images.

Instructions

1. Create a course banner similar to the one below or create your own design. Size: 1024 x 256 pixels. Use the free images included with Adobe Express or upload your own.
2. Download the graphic as a PNG or JPG and then upload it into your Blackboard Course.

Creating a logo

Use the new logo maker tool in Adobe Express to create a simple logo, like the example above, in a matter of minutes or adapt some of the many templates within Adobe Express itself.

Create a social media graphic / poster

Now pull together everything you have learned so far to create a poster / profile graphic of yourselves, similar to the examples below (formal or fun). You could also use a video with graphics layer, instead of a picture, if you want to stretch yourself.

Further Practice

Use a video with graphics layers, instead of a flat picture, to extend your learning. Don't forget to download the video, so you can use it in other applications.
