As Australia’s first Adobe Creative Campus, all staff and students have free access to the full suite of Adobe design programs.

And even more valuable is the expertise of the Digital Coaches to help staff and students use the technology to find solutions across all study and research areas.

So much more than photo editing

Many of us tend to associate Adobe with “Photoshop”, now a verb synonymous with the Kardashian-esque urge to digitally remove pores and skin imperfections.

The way Swinburne’s Digital Coaches can help you implement the technology may achieve fewer Vogue covers, but is infinitely more interesting and valuable for study and research.

These trailblazing, boundary-pushing creators are current students or alumni who are passionate about sharing their talents, not just with Photoshop, but with the full Creative Cloud suite of Adobe programs. That means you can get help to edit film, create wire-frame mobile apps, produce podcasts, create infographics or a digital portfolio. The list goes on and only ends with your imagination.

Find out how Adobe Digital Coaches can help you take your study and research to the next level by booking a free one on one session or joining a free group workshop at www.sdlhub.org.au/adobe-coaches

You can access recordings from past workshops online and be the first to find out about new events by following @swinadobehub on Instagram.
