This month Adobe Stock are exploring the ways our views of identity are changing and how Adobe are looking to bring greater diversity to stock. Adobe’s Principal of Creative and Visual Trends, Brenda Milis highlights that, “Identity is so much less permanent and stable than it used to be. Just consider the fact that Facebook has 71 gender options now. There are endless permutations of individual identity.
