Where's the party? This week it was at #CreativeProWeek in Washington DC during our little Paper Party, hosted by our own Sabine Lenz! 🎉 More than 130 creatives spent their evening getting up close and personal with some truly fabulous pieces courtesy of our print partners. Thanks to them and everybody who showed up for this event! And thank you to David Blatner and the CreativePro Network, Inc. team for making it all possible.

If you're a designer who's been meaning to look into "digital foiling" and other cutting-edge embellishments but have never quite gotten around to it – this is a super-painless way to see what the fuss is about... and how it can help you attract some of those high-end clients you've been dreaming about. WHEN: July 26, 2024 COST: Free Registration: https://lnkd.in/gnxQaWgs P.S. - Matt Redbear knows his stuff (as does Taktiful's Kevin Abergel, come to that.) You don't want to miss it.

I’m always so inspired by @amyballiett and her talks because she’s one of the few creatives I know who doesn’t just tell you “the what” when it comes to design, but also “the why.” ….. I’m in Washington DC speaking at CreativePro Week – the how-to conference for creatives who use Adobe and Microsoft tools.

Doesn't it seem like only yesterday we were all saying "What's this AI thing, anyway?"
Founder of PaperSpecs | on a mission to provide fellow graphic designers with tools and resources to create printed pieces that wow their clients
“Don’t be afraid of AI – make it work for you!” This was one of the strongest messages from the keynote address for this week’s CreativePro Network, Inc. event, by author and CreativePro President David Blatner. WHAT DO YOU THINK? If you’re someone who works in the creative industry, are you worried about AI negatively impacting your business? Or do you think it’s a powerful tool that will actually help you become better at what you do? Take a moment and let me know. 🙂
