The Look on His Face: My Chat With Puget Systems

As a content creator that actually LIKES computers, I’ve been a fan of Puget Systems for quite some time. These folks do a great job offering up knowledge and parts to help you build your best PC for creating content.

This week I had the pleasure of being on their Workflow Wednesday podcast. Unfortunately, I did a LOT of rambling and didn’t get into my workflow much. But it was a GREAT chat with these gents. It was really funny to see Mr. Houston’s face after some of my comments. Good times. I appreciate them having me on and the great questions from them and the live chat. Check out the video below.

Do me a favor. Give this company a follow on Twitter and subscribe to their YouTube channel. I appreciate them sharing my content and story with their audience. Now allow me to share them with you, my audience.

Adobe SPARK: Great Tool For Promoting Your Brand And Products

I’ve been using Adobe Spark for almost two years, now. I was a bit skeptical when the app was shown to me at a previous Adobe Max a few years ago. Eventually I found a way to work this product into my creative plans each week.

What Is Adobe Spark

This app is a tool that allows you to create digital assets for marketing campaigns or promotion of your business, products or services. It comes with tons of images that can be used royalty-free. And if you’re a Creative Cloud user, you get a few more tools to help keep your branding consistent.

I’ve used it for motivational posts to my social media as well as used it for thumbnails on my YouTube channel from time to time. You can also use this tool to create graphics that include simple motion text. I like the flexibility.

Spark can be used in your browser or in the standalone mobile app. When sharing content to a particular social media platform, Spark will easily guide you in making sure the proper size/resolution is being used. For example, Twitter has a 16:9 aspect ratio. So does Instagram. But 1:1 ratio is also offered for Instagram. And quite frankly, I think it looks best that way. You can also use Spark to create web links to your content, which makes sharing super easy. Anyway, I’m rambling. . . .

Check out Adobe Spark (Post, Video, or Page) with my affiliate link. Especially if you are an iOS user. Yes, I’m an authorized Adobe affiliate and I’ll receive a few cents of commission if you use my link. Thanks for checking it out. I also recommend Adobe Capture for your mobile phone. Another great app for creating simple graphics and digital content in the palm of your hand.
