But the growth of digital has changed all of that. Some of the most common map sources we typically think of as consumers purposely add incorrect data and points of interest into their map to protect against unauthorized use. At Adobe, we believe that creativity isn’t something that just lives inside a select few. Art doesn’t belong to the museum, locked away, to an elite audience. Let me paint you a picture — you’re at work and a new project from a top client of yours has just been submitted. It no longer has to feel like a chore, but rather an opportunity to tell stories in new and exciting ways. It’s really for everyone. Topics: Creativity, Creative Inspiration & Trends, Creative Cloud. This is precisely why we’ve been hard at work at Adobe, reimagining the possibilities with Photoshop. Let Photoshop help you tell yours.
Post your captions and we’ll choose our favorites to create some humorous memes and share out over the next few weeks. It is a perfect fit,” said Daniel Vargaz Diaz, creative director at Adobe working on this project. “Everything you can imagine is real.” – Pablo Picasso. Then, simply post your creation to either Twitter or Instagram and tag @photoshop so we can see your work. This gives you a lighter weight, monthly account option which is perfect if you don’t need all the bells and whistles that come with a full subscription. Art doesn’t belong to the museum, locked away, to an elite audience.
Answers may vary, but a common response has been to just trace a map within Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator, create layers, and then begin plotting out your data. Use the images below as your canvas to create your own fantastic voyage using some of the characters and elements from our video, above. Why deal with painstaking tracing when — with just a few clicks — you can have all the building footprints in downtown Los Angeles, a subway map of New York City, a detailed street network of Houston, etc.
At Adobe, we believe that creativity isn’t something that just lives inside a select few. In November of 2019, when we released Photoshop for iPad and Photoshop Camera, we extended our most powerful creative tool beyond laptops and into the pockets of millions. This map has been requested last minute, with just two days’ notice and over 3,000+ attendees to plot. The client has a conference coming up and they need a way to showcase the reach of their company and products. While this may sound relatively easy, how much time are you willing to waste on tracing? It’s what connects us to one another, and allows us to tell stories by bringing our imagination and ideas to life. It’s really for everyone. With the data already available in manageable vector layers, you can finally focus on your creative work rather than the time-consuming process of gathering or creating content. Using a highly detailed map, they want to geographically plot each attendee’s travel distance from their home city to the city where the conference is being held.
Products: Photoshop, Illustrator, Creative Cloud, Top 25 farthest-recruited NCAA Basketball. Whether you’re plotting the top Labor Day vacation destinations, showing where the Top 25 farthest-recruited NCAA Basketball recruits came from, or crafting a story all your own, Maps for Adobe will give you a higher-quality end result in much less time. It is a perfect fit,” said Daniel Vargaz Diaz, creative director at Adobe working on this project. Since our overarching direction at Adobe is creativity for all, it aligns with Keith Haring’s approach that art needs to be democratized. However, we found that 80% of designers and creatives have faced this challenge at some point. Anyone can be creative, and creativity is all around us.
Everyone has a story to tell. Time seems to never be on the side of the designer, but now it can be. To put it simply, Maps for Adobe will enable you to create maps in a fraction of the time that it used to take.
So, what can you do in these types of situations? Anyone can be creative, and creativity is all around us. Imagine streets, building footprints, points of interest, and so much more as vector artwork right inside Illustrator. Stay tuned to our Twitter and Instagram channels where we’ll be sharing our favorite scenes from our subway video and asking for clever captions. We’ve removed the mapping misery so you can focus on your creativity. We’ve created some animated stickers based on the characters featured in our Fantastic Voyage film.
How retro! One of our products, ArcGIS Maps for Adobe Creative Cloud, was built specifically for designers who use maps to do things like telling stories, advertising products, producing compelling images, and creating infographics. From Tiktok videos, to Instagram Stories and Snapchat filters, we’re living in an age where sharing your story is not only common, but expected. Additionally, we’ve launched a new “Plus” user type. And we see this come to life in our everyday lives. With the latest release, Maps for Adobe also provides spatial analysis tools so you can do things like creating travel time polygons, enriching your layers with demographic attributes, generating buffers around points, and more.
It’s what connects us to one another, and allows us to tell stories by bringing our imagination and ideas to life.
Indeed, we now have the ability to bring to life the greatest depths of our imaginations, and tools like Photoshop let us do just that. Join our creative challenges—whether you are a professional or not—to remix and reimagine the world around you. Adobe will be preaching a message of "Creativity for All" in an Oscars ad that explodes with imagery like a Pandora's Box of artistic expression. Whether it’s a last-minute effort or you have weeks of preparation, how do you plan for these types of projects?
