Social Media Marketing with Erika Ortiz –
In this session, Erika Ortiz from Adobe will give a class on How to Get Started with Adobe Express on Mobile – 10 Things Beginners Want to Know How to Do. It’s a complete getting-started guide for Adobe Express on Mobile, even if you’ve never used it before. You’ll learn how to use built-in templates, design from scratch, create a brand kit, resize for various social platforms, and even schedule your posts to go live on specific days and times on your behalf.

Product Photography with John Benigno – Now that you have created your masterpiece, how do you make digital files for competitions, galleries, etc.? Every competition, gallery, and exhibition has its own submission requirements. Photoshop to the rescue! It is a powerful photo-editing program.

We will move on to managing RAW files and understanding file formats, an explanation of menus and toolbars, image resizing, resolution, adjustment
