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 pre-loaded 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.
