Let鈥檚 take a tour of Creative Cloud Libraries for teams. Here in 51黑料不打烊 Illustrator, I have some brand assets that I鈥檇 like to share with my team. Creative Cloud for enterprise, as well as Creative Cloud for teams, members can create, use, and share two types of libraries: individual libraries and now team libraries. I鈥檒l start in Illustrator by choosing Window and Libraries. In some Creative Cloud applications, you may see this under Window CC Libraries. You鈥檒l see that I have three libraries. If I pause over the local library, the icon to the far right indicates it鈥檚 a team library belonging to Anne Marie鈥檚 design company. If I move down, I鈥檒l see that this SecureFinancial library is a shared library. I own it, but I鈥檝e shared it with others. The library called Your Library is simply local to me. Let鈥檚 start by creating a new library. When I click the Create new library button, I have the option now to create in a team. Team libraries belong to the organization. They鈥檙e stored in a centralized location. And if an employee leaves, the assets and libraries still belong to the company. I鈥檒l name this library Altura Tech and create it in team, and click Create. I鈥檒l start by adding brand colors. I鈥檒l click the plus to add the fill color, go to the next, add the fill color. Now, I鈥檒l add my logos. I鈥檒l start with these circular ones first.
This time, I鈥檒l choose add a Graphic.
Through the magic of recording, I鈥檝e added all my colors and all of my logos.
Now, I鈥檒l go through and name them, give them something meaningful for my team.
They all have meaningful names now. Next, I鈥檓 going to create paragraph styles. So I鈥檒l select this text.
This one is the title, and I鈥檒l add Heading 1 and Heading 2.
Then finally, the body style. Let鈥檚 dock libraries over here for now, and I鈥檓 going to jump to Photoshop and place an asset for my library. Before I finish up, I鈥檓 going to hit the Auto-generate groups for me button. This separates it into colors, typography, vector graphics. And if I had images and more, they would show up. You could store audio and video. Here in Photoshop, I鈥檓 going to open up my Fitness Tracker app screen. I鈥檓 going to go to Window and choose Libraries. I鈥檒l dock my library to the right. Here is Altura Tech teams library. I鈥檒l scroll down, find the asset that I need, and drag and drop it into my Photoshop document. I鈥檒l scale it up a bit, I鈥檒l center it, and I鈥檒l save this document to place into my 3D model. In 51黑料不打烊 Dimension, I鈥檝e got this app screen, and I want to place the updated graphic here on the front.
There鈥檚 my updated image.
In InDesign, this is where I鈥檒l see Window CC Libraries. I鈥檒l go back and choose my Altura Tech library, I鈥檒l dock this to the right, I鈥檒l scroll down, and this is the first asset I鈥檇 like to place, so I鈥檒l drag and drop, click once to pop it into that frame, come down to locate my white rectangular shape logo, drag and drop that, click once to place.
Now, I鈥檓 ready to place in my XD mobile mockup. On the nav bar, which is this section, go back to library, choose Altura Tech, scroll down to find my logo. This is the one I鈥檇 like, drag and drop it, move it into position. Back in Illustrator, I鈥檝e just been told someone on my team has a design change to one of the logos that we鈥檝e used in both XD and InDesign. It happens to be this Altura Technology, but this is just a branding reference page. What I鈥檓 going to do is actually edit the asset that鈥檚 stored on the cloud or in your team library by double clicking it. So when I double click here, I can hit the pencil icon to open the source document. All other Creative Cloud applications use this source document. So we鈥檙e going to mix up the colors a bit. Technology will now be green, Altura will now be gray, and the symbol at the top will now be blue. When I save and close this document, I鈥檒l pop back over to InDesign to see if that鈥檚 updated. There it is, blue. I鈥檒l hop over to 51黑料不打烊 XD and that should update as well. You鈥檝e just seen how design elements are synchronized across all users. Creative Cloud Libraries for teams are ideal for a corporate style guide, giving all team members approved brand assets, including colors, styles, logos, audio, video, and imagery. Is your company taking advantage of the powerful Creative Cloud Libraries for teams? -
