CreativePro’s fourth annual Design + Marketing Summit takes place online July 28-30. There’s no better opportunity to learn essential design and production techniques for social media, email, print, and more to boost your marketing success. I can’t wait to check it all out, but here are four highlights that I’m especially excited about.
Canva or Express: Which is Right for You?
If you’ve ever used Canva, you know that at times it can seem almost magical in the way it allows you to create anything from social media graphics to presentations with almost no friction. But Adobe Express is no slouch either, and it has the advantage of being integrated with all the other apps that you probably already know and use every day. So which one should you use for your projects? That’s what Lisa Seifert is going to help us all figure out.
A Mobile Studio in Your Back Pocket
In photography, they say the best camera is the one you have with you when the moment strikes. The same is true when it comes to video. Fortunately nowadays almost all of us have a powerful video camera with us at all times. But knowing how to use that camera to tell an attractive and compelling story is another thing. So I can’t wait to hear Kelly’s thoughts on planning out great shots, capturing them, and composing them into an amazing finished product.
Motion Graphics Made Easy: The Magic of Mogrts!
For anyone who’s ever been bewildered in their attempt to make content move in After Effects or Premiere Pro (like me!), Kyle Hamrick has the solution: motion graphics templates, a.k.a. MOGRTs. When you start from a template, it only takes a few clicks to get things moving in a way that makes your designs more exciting and attractive. You’ll learn where to find these templates, how to modify them for your work, and even how to create your own.
Figma for Marketing Designers
Charlie McGwire and André Pires
There’s a reason why Adobe was willing to offer $20 billion to buy Figma. It’s an incredibly powerful solution for designing websites, apps, and other digital products. If you’re new to Figma, these guys will get you up and running and collaborating with colleagues and clients. Even better, they’ll show how building a unified design system in Figma helps you maintain brand consistency while responding to any new marketing needs.
But Wait, There’s So Much More…
Those four sessions represent just a fraction of the content you’ll get over the course of three amazing days in The Design + Marketing Summit. And in addition to the sessions and Q&A, you’ll also get on-demand access to the recordings for one year and handouts for every session. Don’t wait! Sign up today and join us in July.
