Adobe Fosters Innovation at OFFF 2018

^{Simon Morris, EMEA Senior Marketing Director at Adobe commented: “OFFF is a central partnership for Adobe. It’s a chance for us to celebrate some of the amazing work produced by the creative community as well as showcase the latest innovations in our own tools to the people that push creative boundaries. Tools that we hope will help power new generations of innovation. All the best bits will be livestreamed for our creative community around the world.”}

^{Among the highlights, Michael Chaize will headline a keynote alongside artist, Marta Cerdà on 24th May 2.25pm BST which will explore Adobe’s community initiatives and highlight the latest updates to Creative Cloud. The session will include two Adobe ‘Sneaks’ that will offer a peek into three new product features coming soon to Adobe XD and Illustrator CC.}

^{In addition, an Adobe Stock Visual Trends Panel will be livestreamed on Facebook on May 24 at 9 am BST to discuss the evolution of visual culture and the trend of Multilocalism. With travel and technology making the world ever-smaller, artists and brands are embracing a mosaic of cultural experiences in their imagery. This trend, a key finding in Adobe Stock’s 2018 Visual Trends, will be the topic of the panel debate featuring creative luminaries including designer and director, Dr. Nelly Ben Hayoun, Futurist, Rudy De Wale, and artists Aleksandre Szmytko, Mariana Rodrigues, Perci Chen and Tobi Chinobi.}

As always, attendees to OFFF will also be able to join in on the Adobe workshops. This year, Adobe has lined up a workshop featuring celebrated artists including Robert Generette (Illustration), Michael Schauer (Mobile Photography), Kyle T. Webster (Illustration and Digital Painting), Marianna Tomasselli (Illustration & Stock contributor) and Perci Chen (Illustration & Stock) to showcase how they´re using Adobe’s mobile and desktop apps, and reveal their best workflows to the OFFF community.

Furthermore, Adobe will launch an Adobe Stock “Top 30 Challenge” in which teams featuring special guests from the event will be prompted to design an image inspired by the Top 30 Adobe Stock search terms for Barcelona. The winning image will be chosen through a public vote on Twitter. Participants in the vote will get the chance to attend the Creativity Conference Adobe MAX, held in October this year in Los Angeles.

Finally, Adobe has always been committed to helping the next generation thrive. At OFFF, we are proud to introduce Project 1324, an Adobe initiative where emerging artists can discover and apply for exciting creative opportunities – such as fellowships, mentorships and scholarships. In celebration of Project 1324’s new character design challenge with Pictoplasma, attendees can practice their design skills in the Adobe Experience Lounge and learn more about the Project 1324 experience from two of this year’s Pictoplasma Fellows, Alice Monvaillier and Helena Covell.  They will also be part of the OFFF livestreaming program. You can learn more about Project 1324’s new challenge with Pictoplasma at Project1324.com.
