Resources
Campus Creative Cloud Library
To help you implement the visual elements of the brand, we’ve created a Creative Cloud (CC) library for campus design assets. This library has the colors, logos, and graphic elements preloaded so you can easily drag and drop into your designs. To request access to the CC Library, email branding@illinois.edu.
Adobe Express Templates
Adobe Express is similar to Canva. We’ve created several Adobe Express templates to help you get started. To request access, email branding@illinois.edu. Templates are found in your ‘Projects’ in Adobe Express
