This was about a 15 minute project. Nothing exciting in the way it’s set up, but getting a simple thing like this ready in that short a period of time is one of the great values of Adobe Spark. I have Creative Cloud, so can get more sophisticated (within my limited design abilities!) with other tools, but for a quick ad to go with a blog post, Spark (now Adobe Express -12/17/2022) is the thing.
