Creative Cloud Mix Tape

/in

Kick off CreativePro Week with a high-energy, music-themed morning keynote. Chris riffs on the idea of creative cross-training by mixing InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Canva (and more!) in ways you wouldn’t expect. Think fast-paced demos, playful surprises, and a healthy dose of rock-and-roll attitude.

Each segment spins a new challenge and a new app, intentionally breaking “rules” about what each tool is supposed to be used for. The result is part performance, and part creative jam session, reminding you that experimentation is often where the most interesting ideas start.

Come for the entertainment. Stay for the shift in mindset. Leave with fresh inspiration to remix your own Creative Cloud workflows—no matter which apps you use every day.

Mix tape mystery tracks:

  • Turn it up: live spins, creative curveballs, and a rock-and-roll remix mindset from the first beat
  • Apps in the mix: Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, Canva, and more!
  • Creative moves on deck: photo editing, web graphics, video effects, 3D modeling, and motion experiments
  • Rule-bending workflows: familiar apps pushed into unfamiliar territory

Paper Party: Let’s Get Tactile!

/in

Paper is as distinctive as fonts—each type of paper has its own “voice” and personality. And yet, the only way to truly understand paper and printing is to feel it with your own hands. In the old days there were plenty of opportunities for design professionals to experience a wide variety of paper stocks, so they could make good decisions when it came to print. Of course, that’s very rare today.

So, we’re throwing a paper party! Join internationally renowned paper expert Sabine Lenz from PaperSpecs as she leads a fun and educational experience like no other.

Topics include:

  • Understanding paper terminology
  • Why choosing the right stock for your project matters
  • How a printed piece can make or break your sale
  • Why print means “Quality” (and how not to mess it up)

Design for Minds: The Neuroscience of Impact

By understanding the neuroscience behind perception, designers can create work that not only captures attention but also enhances learning and memory. This session will equip your team with the knowledge to optimize cognitive load, apply neuropsychological principles, and design with the brain’s natural learning patterns in mind.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Master cognitive load optimization for maximum audience retention
  • Apply neuropsychology principles to create unforgettable experiences
