Adobe Rush Tutorial
What is a Creative Jam?
Creative Jams are competitions where college students learn about a specific Adobe program and then compete against one another to test their digital literacy skills. The event occurs over a span of 1-2 weeks, and kicks off with students watching a presentation and receiving training from an Adobe expert. Students then take what they have learned to create unique video content and finally present their work to a jury of industry experts and peers.
Submission Requirements: Using Adobe Rush, create a 60-second video based on the theme of this year's Adobe Creative Jam: "What does creativity mean to you?" The video should be submitted as an Mp4 file
