Thursday, July 02

10:00 am - 11:00 am (Chicago)

Guillermo Flores Pacheco pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to turn a global creative brief into an iconic visual seen by millions. This keynote presents a real-world case study following the creative journey behind the Photoshop 2025 splash screen—from early notes and visual exploration through collaboration, revision, and final execution.

See how a brief is interpreted beyond surface requirements to uncover meaning, narrative, and opportunity. Explore how ideas evolve through feedback, constraints, and strategic decision-making, while still preserving a clear creative voice.

This session offers a grounded, behind-the-scenes look at how world-class creative work is built through thinking, process, collaboration, and craft.

Key takeaways:

  • How to decode and transform a client brief into a powerful visual concept
  • The real evolution of an idea—from first sketch to final global deliverable
  • The mindset and growth needed to go from creator to creative leader
