Bateman Design Group

Popped down to Toronto last night for the Adobe Create Now event at The Symes. It’s always interesting to step out of the studio and see what the other creatives and Adobe team-members have been up to lately.

Some of the topics included
* Creative Cloud Updates: First looks and smart shortcuts for tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, Express, and Firefly.
* AI Integration: Practical methods for using generative AI as a “creative assist” rather than a replacement.
* Real-World Workflows: Demonstrations of day-to-day processes used by Adobe pros. 

I found it espeically inspiring to hear Toronto-based filmmaker and graphic designer Tristan Laughton talk about his career evolution, following passions and the importance of ‘shooting your shot’.

Feeling incredibly inspired and ready to bring some of these new shortcuts and Firefly techniques straight into my upcoming client projects!

This photo popped up on my Facebook timeline today. I had snapped it at the lcbo—it’s always fun to see my work in the wild! Editorial design has always been one of my favourite things to do.
