As a web designer but also a student exploring Computer Science and Quantitative Finance, my goal with this GIG is to highlight how creating a portfolio of your own using Adobe's resources doesn't just set a person up with professional web design skills, but enhances their own personal brand. By using different features like Adobe Capture to capture inspiration on your phone and sync them directly to Creative Cloud libraries for efficient use in web projects, Adobe Illustrator to generate SVGs and export web-ready icons, and generating creative images through Adobe Firefly, one's portfolio receives the ultimate "glow-up". The process is authentic and can become messy in several ways, however that is the beauty of creation. Using Adobe's tools in the right way can also transform a basic student project to a professional portfolio that will catch a recruiter's eye. In creating a video and bringing this concept to life, I would highlight the before vs. after reveal to highlight the contributions that the different Adobe features make. Once determined and driven, Adobe can be used beyond just playing around with the tools. They can elevate a student's career and help them gain skills that are extremely valuable in growing industries like marketing, content creation, storytelling, and digital innovations. These skills are more important than ever in today's job market!

The Adobe applications I have experience with is Adobe Photoshop, Firefly, Illustrator, and Adobe Studio. As a web designer who has been coding websites for 3+ years, I built my design skills primarily through Adobe. It has been an outlet for creativity and expression. Adobe Firefly has been a way for me to use Generative AI and produce pictures that could be useful for including in my personal websites. By experimenting with different AI prompts, I found it extremely fascinating. At the beginning of my coding and web design journey, I acquired skills through Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and Studio. There were times that I used Adobe to experiment in ways I could enhance my websites and then I had the opportunity to teach my friends what I learned in Adobe and continued my experimentation process with my classmates. As a college student who is now experimenting with Adobe Creative Cloud, I see myself less as a user and more as an ambassador for the creative process. In college, I am currently coding my own personal portfolio website, and I work alongside with peers who have a similar goal in mind. With my own technical experience, I want to be able to show them that you don't need to be a pro in web design in order to efficiently use Creative Cloud's features!
