9/1 Weekly Roundup: Creating Demand, the Future of Design & Meeting IRL
First of all... When did September happen?! 😳
I know the calendar says it's the 1st is today but my brain can not compute just how fast 2023 has flown by. You too?
Here at the Futur™, we've been experimenting a lot this year with different ways we can support our community and honor the stage of business they're at as well. And I just wanted to take a second to do two things...
1️⃣ Say thank you.
Truly, thank you for being a part of The Futur™ community. We could not do the work we do here without you.
2️⃣ Ask a question.
This newsletter was something new this year that we've been testing different styles and approaches with. Is there something you've liked or would like to see in here on Fridays? Comment below and let us know.
And now, onto the weekly roundup!
Join us at Adobe MAX 2023!
Want to meet IRL (in real life)? The Futur™ team is packing their bags and heading to Adobe MAX this October and we'd love to see you there!
Adobe MAX is the go to conference for creatives to explore and play with new creative tools, network with other passionate creatives, and be inspired at every turn. Register to attend in person or online. Save US$500 with promo code M23SCDP. Subject to availability.

Member Question Box
What kinds of questions are our members asking? Here's one pulled from one our Accelerator membership this week that you can learn from as well.
Q: I didn’t have a contract/forgot to ask for permission to show my client’s work in my portfolio. What should I do?
A: Write your case study, create your images, put it together and make the client AND your collaborator look like geniuses. Then send it to them for approval in an email. “Just wanted to make sure it was ok to brag about you guys” - it’s harder to say no to something that makes everybody look good. Easier to say no to something that doesn’t exist yet.
Hope you have a great rest of your week!
— The Futur™ team
