Katrina Torrijos, an Adobe Express Evangelist, was in Omaha a couple of weeks ago for Adobe Create Now. We recorded this episode in a green room / nuclear bunker / hidden lounge below The Durham Museum just hours before Katrina took the stage to show off the capabilities of Adobe Express and how Adobe Firefly (Adobe’s generative AI tool) incorporates itself into Illustrator and Photoshop, as well as Express. For the record, I still have yet to test out Adobe Express, but if I was running an instagram account, the tools built in to schedule posts and allow a client to make some text changes, as well as the simplicity of basic animation – well, I’d definitely test it out.
We also talk about the value in attending events such as this (and this one was completely free by the way), Katrina’s path to becoming an Adobe Evangelist, the power of owning that you are a creative, and more.

I first met Petre Spassov at the 2011 AIGA Conference in Phoenix, and since then have been fortunate enough to receive a few of his promotional pieces for PS Design. As he has created some of the best self-promotional design pieces I have seen, I thought it would be fun to have him visit The Reflex Blue Show and discuss what goes into a good self promo for a designer, and what the goal of one should be.
We also talk about his studio (PS Design), his collaborative studio (Reform Design), student portfolios, AI (I mean, I feel like it has to be discussed some, it’s 2023, right?), and more.

Christopher Cox stopped by (well, virtually anyway) The Reflex Blue Show to talk about the weather and snow accumulation in Fort Collins and Omaha (this makes us officially old?).
We then speak about his previous work under Change the Thought, for Barack Obama, and his past blogging. We also discuss Alternative Movie Posters, the wonderful environmental graphics he’s been working on with DLR Group, and more.
