Throughout the history of design, change has always commanded attention. Many of us can recall surfing the impacts of the internet, of mobile phones, and so many other big, transformative moments in our industry. In recent years, we're starting to see the latest cycle of change in our creative work withthe rapid advancement of new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and the expansion of Web3 (e.g., 3D illustration). While not entirely new, recent breakthroughs have made these tools a major talking point throughout our profession and beyond with the potential to drastically change the way we approach content creation.

Paul B. Drohan and Josh Hassin have jumped into these possibilities and will be sharing their experiences from what it's been like to learn them and stay informed, to a special look at their processes.
