From prompt to pixel: How to harness AI-generation for game UI design.   In our latest batch of client-powered creative experimentation, we blended human creativity with AI-powered tools to reimagine the user experience of the "Warcodes" app by game developer Emergent Worlds! Visual and interactive elements like the UI Menu Tab, User Tray, and Title Bar were all enhanced by hand after working through a new AI-assisted workflow. Using ChatGPT, Adobe Firefly, and Scenario, we prototyped a process flow for supercharging visual concepts and exploring fresh ideas, while staying grounded in the game's core mythology and visual style.   The process is all about unleashing a new creative process for our design team.   🛠️ Craft the Text Prompt Write a clear, detailed prompt describing the subject, style, mood, and composition you want! 🪄 Generate AI Design Elements In Adobe Firefly, an AI image generator, insert the text prompt and begin selecting your favorite generation of outputs. ☑️ Isolate your favorite Design Elements In Photoshop, collect and isolate the strongest generations (characters, objects, textures, backgrounds). 🖼️ Composite & Finalize Blend the AI-generated elements into a cohesive scene with the help of your image editor. Adjust lighting, color grading, and perspective for realism. Add polish with manual painting, effects, and finishing touches.   We took the best of what AI offered and layered in custom design work from our beloved designers. The enhanced interface design elevated everything from the UI trays and map toggles to functional menus and custom iconography, creating a seamless and mythic user experience.   The machine may be awake, but humans are still the ones who are dreaming up these ideas!   #AIForDesign #AdobeFirefly #MobileGameDesign #GenerativeDesign #DesignWithAI #CreativeTech #GameUIUX #FutureOfGameplay

Day 1 of #AdobeMAX 2025 was nothing short of inspiring. I loved hearing a shout-out for K–12 education during the keynote. It means so much to see educators recognized on the global creative stage. 💛 I also got a look at Project Aqua, a new app launching next month designed to empower creative kids and families (and it might just be my new favorite thing)— now available for preorder in the App Store (and it’s free!). Well done, Lydia Hall , Peppe Ragusa , & team! Of course, a highlight was watching Claudio Zavala Jr. and Martin Ricardo Cisneros share what’s next for Adobe Express, Premiere, and Firefly. I think we can all agree that the future of creativity is bright. And because no MAX day is complete without some hands-on fun, I ended mine at the Make It booth crafting an adorable wallet that just screams “Shel.” Can’t wait to share more updates on Aqua and all the creativity coming out of MAX this week! 💙 #AdobeMAX #AdobeEducation #ProjectAqua #AdobeExpress #AdobeFirefly #Community #AdobeLife

I spent this week doing one of my favorite things… connecting with photographers who use Lightroom every day. From Nat Geo pros to new creators finding their style, I got to hear what’s working, what’s not, and what they’d love to see next. We even added their ideas to our feature request board (you’ll spot it in the video 👇). It’s a reminder that the best products aren’t built in isolation, they’re built in conversation with the people using them day in and day out. Full MAX recap coming next week, but for now, here’s a small peek into the magic that happens when creativity and community meet. Thanks to Adobe, and specifically my Lightroom colleagues, for putting on this special event! ♻️ Repost if you believe the best features start with real feedback. ➕Follow Mary Sheehan for insights on creative careers.
