Design Less, Grow More: How to Automate Your Brand in Adobe Express
About this Event
A Hands-On, Bring-Your-Laptop Masterclass for Small Business Owners, Creators & Freelancers
Tired of spending two hours staring at a blank screen just to make a single Instagram graphic or promotional flyer?
It’s time to stop reinventing the wheel. Whether you're a local business owner, freelance maker, artist, or side-hustler, having a consistent visual brand isn't about having a complex graphic design degree—it’s about having a fast, repeatable system. When your branding is consistent, you build instant trust and authority with your audience while spending way less time editing graphics.
Join us at Bramblitt’s Yellow Dog Art Bar & Gallery on August 23rd for a completely FREE, 2-1/2 hour hands-on workshop where we’ll turn design guesswork into a simple workflow using Adobe Express.
This workshop is intentionally designed for non-designers who want to look like a pro without wasting precious time.
When: Sunday, August 23rd, 2026 | 2:00 PM – 4:30 PM
Where: Bramblitt’s Yellow Dog Art Bar & Gallery (219 E Hickory St, Denton, TX)
100% FREE (Seating strictly capped at 18 in the private back room!)
What to Bring: Laptop, charger, and good vibes
What We’re Building Together (Your Walkaway Assets)
You won't just sit and listen to a talk—you will pull out your laptop and actively create reusable assets tailored to your business:
- Your Centralized Brand Vault: Set up your brand colors, logos, and fonts once so you can apply them to any design in seconds. We’re catering to both Free and Paid Adobe Express users—showing you how to set up a native Premium Brand Kit or build a copy-and-paste Manual Brand Canvas so no one gets left behind!
- Go-To Business Templates: Build skeleton frameworks for social media carousels, event/promo flyers, and a custom phone lock-screen digital networking card
- Scroll-Stopping Upgrades: Add fun animations, stickers, and native branded QR codes so people can connect with your business on the spot
- Community & Bites: Hang out, enjoy light snacks, grab a drink at the Yellow Dog bar, and network with fellow local Denton creators in a collaborative, zero-pressure space
How to Prepare (What to Bring)
To make sure you get maximum value out of this hands-on session, please review this quick checklist before arriving:
- Your Laptop & Charger: You will be actively building during the workshop, so bring your laptop charged and ready to go
- Adobe Express Account: Make sure you create a free or paid Adobe Express account at http://express.adobe.com/ and test logging in on your laptop prior to the event
- Your Brand Assets (If You Have Them): Bring transparent PNG logo files, font files, or color hex codes (e.g., #FF5733) saved in a desktop folder or thumb drive
- Don't Have Brand Assets Yet? NO PROBLEM! If you're starting from scratch, don't worry at all! You can pick a fresh color palette and typography fonts on the spot during the live demo so you can move forward with confidence
