ENGL 1301 - Gazella - Fall 2025: AI Tools

AI Images - Adobe Express

Adobe Firefly 


Adobe Firefly is Adobe’s AI-powered image creation tool that lets you generate original images, graphics, and design elements just by typing in a description. Instead of needing advanced design skills, you can write a prompt like “a futuristic city at sunset” or “a watercolor-style portrait of a cat,” and Firefly will create visual options for you.

Firefly is especially helpful for students who want to:

  • Brainstorm ideas for projects, presentations, and assignments

  • Create quick visuals without needing Photoshop experience

  • Experiment with styles like 3D, watercolor, vector art, or photo-realistic images

  • Edit or enhance images using AI tools designed for creativity

Firefly is built into several Adobe apps (like Express and Photoshop), and it’s trained on licensed and safe-to-use content, making it a good choice for academic or creative work.

In short, Firefly is an easy way to turn your ideas into visuals—even if you’re not a designer.
