Explore inspirational reading experiences making their way to the web, and discuss the technologies that make them possible. We'll also investigate where we see these kinds of experiences headed and the features that will enable new reading experiences on the web.In this session, CJ Gammon, creative technologist at Adobe, will cover:• Cutting-edge examples of powerful reading experiences on the web today and what makes them unique• Capabilities previously missing from the web and what new reading experiences they could enable• How these new reading experiences could enhance creative content and storytelling on the web

This documentary explores what all humans have in common. Although we all have very different experiences and backgrounds, there are a few commonalities that bring us together. This is a beautiful depiction of that commonality through the voices of youth.

We made this video because we think that we are living in a world where people are hating too much, and they're forgeting one important thing in life, which is smiling. People should be happier, but they are always seeing the dark side of everything, and society is every day worse because they are telling people what they think that everyone is supposed to be like, and that's wrong: we all have the right to be what we want to be. We hope that this video, from our point of view, makes all of you to think about what can we do to change this.

Do you ever wonder about the most important things in your life? What really makes you happy? For us, the most beautiful experiences are those we live with our families and friends. They are a gift that we must take care because no matter how far apart we are, if we are loved by someone, we will always be at home. "Dear Child" is a fictional story that tries to represent what we really mean

In today’s society, more and more girls begin to personally harm and degrade themselves, striving for a “perfect body” that they can never achieve. We all must look and act the same in order to be “beautiful”. Our project aims to show that all girls, no matter what, are beautiful. Each teenage girl feels insecure and self conscious, but if we choose to view ourselves positively, our inner confidence shines through. This project is aimed at teenage girls to support a positive self image within themselves. We chose to create a contrast in visual style and meaning by having the first half in black and white and the second half in vibrant color. With this contrast, we show how dark negative self perception can be and how reflecting more positively on yourself will bring color and confidence to your life.

Ciudad Colón, Costa Rica is a unique place. It is a beautiful city that give us many opportunities to enjoy life. Here we laugh, share, learn and grow with our families and friends. It is difficult to express in 60 seconds what does Ciudad Colón means to us, so we made our best effort and this is the final result :-)

In this video, Angelo brings the viewers in to the world of Marshall Maria. Marshal has been bullied since kindergarden. Angelo embarked on a mission to find out the role a parent play in supporting a child that is being bullied. As Angelo was listing to both sides of the story, he discovered that bullying shouldn't be taken lightly. Most of the time people don't really take a moment to realize that bullying is a real problem and that we all have to stand up and continue to raise awareness. The reason is that no matter what the circumstances, there is NEVER a reason to be a bully and bully someone.

We’ve been talking and sharing stories with students from Egypt and Chicago. We’ve been learning about what life is like in both countries. Getting to know other people from other parts of the world through video clips and online platforms has been a great experience. We also loved how different people from different cultures can be; yet they manage to find what can draw them closer.

My project is about thinking about our future. It combines motion graphics and creativity to ask the viewer what will you do.

In our group we experienced what students have on teachers and how it reflects the students' performance and motivation in the class. Students should be more aware of their attitude towards their education. We chose to make a youth video about expressing the relationship between the student and the teachers. To portray the message, we interviewed teachers as well as students about one's feeling about the other individual. In the beginning of the video we introduced the topic in the terms of the student's point of view in a school scene. We started with students’ opinions on general school questions, in order to obtain the students' attention on the video's subject. Afterwards we obtained information on teachers' reflections on how important their job and their relationship with each other. In the program we used transitions; we also filmed the hallway scene on a hand held device for an aspect from a student. As a group we wanted it to be cartoonish so it would look flamboyant. The beginning and the end stand out in our film the most. We want others to see that they are a part of it. And we want to see improvement in students. The audience should feel that they should change for the benefit of the teachers, their peers, and most importantly themselves. We all learned how to use the Adobe Premiere program, how to use a camera, and how to interview people. Relating to our topic we learned how students affect the teachers. We have learned the appreciation of filmmaking. One negative thing we can include is that the program repeatedly shut down, it made it difficult for the project to prosper in a way that we planned.

We decided to choose this topic because we feel everyone is insecure about something and we wanted to address some of our insecurities. We interviewed students whom had insecurities, and we used the most common topics. We wanted our peers to relate to them. We had three students draw how they view themselves and then how society viewed them so we took a full body shot. I think what stood out in the film was the imagine in the end we wanted to inspire others to be themselves and to love who they are as a person regardless of what society says. We want others to see that they are not alone. We want everyone to try not judging a book by its cover. We learned how much everyone struggles with different things on a daily basis and just because they smile and dress nice doesn't mean that on the inside they feel okay.

In this video we review how data-driven websites work and their benefits. We also discuss the required tools needed to start development.

Is marketing is BS? You might be surprised at what some of us think of all the marketing ads and messages we see out in the world. Join our debate http://bit.ly/MetricsNotMyths. #MetricsNotMyths @AdobeMktgCloud

In this anatomy lesson we'll move out of the interface and look at the files that are created when you save an Animate project. It is obvious that Edge lives in an HTML5 universe, but it is also a compilation of JavaScript, JQuery, CSS3, JSON, and HTML. In this video we'll look at where these files are located and what they do.

We're going to create a detailed illustration with free gifts and self made goodies

This is a piece based on a poem we wrote together as a group. Though there are many ways Boston is described, we wanted to represent the neighborhoods that we are from and our experiences. What we see, hear, touch, and smell in our neighborhoods.

"The Power of One", is a video that was made to show people that it only takes one person to make a difference. It shows how people in a group are influenced by those around them, and will not stop something they feel is wrong for fear of being rejected by the masses. If one person decides to step up to take action against the wrong they are seeing, it can cause a chain reaction amongst the crowd to stop what it is they are doing. This also has an application in life around our neighborhood or any other communities that we are apart of. This concept can also be applied to youth to teach them how to change the way individuals think and react to public situations for the better.
