Level Up Your Online Presence: My Experience at the Bowie State Adobe Summit

Last Thursday, I had the opportunity to attend the Adobe Summit at Bowie State University! The Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning hosted the event, offering a variety of workshops designed to help faculty get the most out of the Adobe Creative Cloud.

The morning kicked off with a session on Adobe Express, a great introduction for anyone new to the suite. In the afternoon, I opted for the deep dive into Adobe Portfolio. This session focused on creating stunning online portfolios, perfect for showcasing your work to potential employers or clients.

While the focus was on faculty development, there were takeaways for everyone interested in using Adobe Portfolio to curate their online presence. The workshop explored the latest features and best practices for building a professional and visually engaging portfolio.

Pro Tip: One key point that resonated with me was the importance of tailoring your portfolio to your specific audience· Whether you're a graphic designer, a photographer, or a writer, your portfolio should highlight the skills and projects most relevant to your field.

Not What I Expected, But Super Valuable!

While the event description mentioned the opportunity to connect with Adobe employers, it turned out the focus was more on faculty development. That being said, the workshops themselves were incredibly valuable, and  I walked away feeling much more confident in using Adobe Portfolio.

Overall, the Adobe Summit was a fantastic experience. If you're a Bowie State student, faculty, or staff and you're interested in getting the most out of the Creative Cloud suite, keep an eye out for future events hosted by the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning!

Embracing My Roots: A Black Advertiser's Journey Through Hip-Hop Studies by: Mardline Prevot Vision Collage by Mazopal Design   Hey everyone, Mardi here, and I'm diving deep this semester. As a Black advertiser, CEO of Mazopal Design, and a proud Haitian American from Northeast DC, I'm embarking on a journey of self-discovery through the lens of Hip-Hop Studies. This isn't just another class for me; it's a profound exploration of my heritage, my identity, and my artistic expression. Hip-Hop and My Life: More Than Just Music Hip-hop isn't just a genre; it's a culture, a movement, and a mirror reflecting the realities of my life. Growing up in DC, I was immersed in the beats, the lyrics, and the raw energy of hip-hop. It was the soundtrack to my youth, a voice for the voiceless, and a powerful tool for storytelling. Now, I'm excited to dissect the five elements of old-school hip-hop – DJing, MCing, breakdancing, graffiti, and knowledge – and compare them t...

A New Home for Haitian Art in Bowie by: Mardline Prevot  Via Mazopal Design ( Haitian Community: The Vintage View) The words sting, even when they're not directed at me. In my courses, when Haiti comes up, it's a predictable script: poverty, political instability, a place to avoid. A casual dismissal of a country so rich in history and resilience. It's a narrative that paints my home as a lost cause, a cautionary tale. And for a long time, I just listened, the words sinking in. But then I realized something. They're not completely wrong. Haiti has faced incredible challenges. But that's not the whole story, and it's certainly not the only story. What's missing from their textbooks is the vibrant, powerful history that makes Haiti what it is today. They don't talk about the incredible strength and ingenuity of a country that, after 1804, became the first free Black republic. They don't mention the Black liberation that sparked hope across the diaspora...
