Generative AI Workflows from Working Hollywood Poster Artists

Picture April 21, 2026 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM UTC

Go behind the scenes of real Hollywood poster production with two working poster artists. Lisa Carney and Jesús Ramirez will reveal how professional TV and movie campaigns are built from concept to final poster, sharing the actual collaboration strategies they use on the job.

You will see how two pros divide the work, make decisions together, and push a project forward under real production pressure. You will also see how Adobe Firefly enhances traditional Photoshop skills, fitting naturally into a professional compositing and lighting workflow rather than replacing the craft behind it.

Attendees receive production asset files to practice the concepts covered.

This free event has limited capacity, so only RSVP if you plan to attend. Join us later in the week for Create Now Kansas City Design Week.
