About us
Hello, and thanks for your interest in joining KCDesignCore — welcome aboard!
Our group was founded in 2007 as one of four official Adobe groups in Kansas City. We're designers, developers, digital photographers, freelancers, producers, in-house corporate marketing types, and interested students of all ages — focusing mostly on visually-oriented products in the entire Adobe Creative Cloud range, with a strong focus on Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, and other tools with a visual emphasis. If it's visual, we'll talk about it!
We usually meet on the FIRST TUESDAY of every month, but sometimes special events will change that schedule so always check the web site to see where our next meeting will be! As of fall 2024, we will be meeting at KCAI with a Zoom link for remote attendees! We continue to be open to new temporary or permanent venues, so if you'd like to host us, let us know!
Adobe provides us with great presentations, speakers, and prizes. If you're a regular participant in our group, you're very likely to take home some fantastic goodies. Twice a year, we are authorized to give away an entire year's subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud — basically "everything Adobe puts out for creatives" on a membership basis. Additionally, throughout the year we have giveaways based on your attendance and participation.
Whether you're just starting out with Adobe tools or you're an experienced designer, we look forward to welcoming you to our community. It's fun and nobody walks away empty-handed!
Be sure to check us out by looking for @kcdesigncore on Facebook, X, and Instagram, and join us on Slack!
(Due to the proliferation of spammers and scammers, we've had to resort to approving new members on an as-requested basis rather than letting Meetup auto-join new people. To join our group, we ask that you please use a "real" name and a "real" photo of yourself -- our group is composed of real people, not flowers, pets, or abstract designs. You're a visual type, but here's your chance to show us what YOU look like. Thanks for your understanding!)

Photowalk on the Trolley Line and Big Giveaway Redux
Photowalk Gathering, 1601 Main St., Kansas City, MO, USThis year's June photo walk will center around the newly-expanded Kansas City Streetcar Line! Capture your best KC photos; anything on or near the line is fair game!
You don't need have a fancy camera to participate — your phone and a creative eye are just fine! After the photo walk, we will post our best images to a website for easy sharing with the group. We will arrange for a judging to select the prize-winning photo, to be awarded at a future meeting.
We will gather at 7:00 at 16th & Main; there are nearby stops both northbound and southbound, and it's right in the middle of the line, making for a great jumping-off point.
(NE Corner has a Starbucks; NW corner is Streetcar Grille - and of course, you can park anywhere and streetcar over to this point! Right here: https://tinyurl.com/4wdmha85)At 8:30, we will reconvene at the same meeting point to draw for a one-year Creative Cloud subscription -- you must be present to win! You must have attended at least one other meeting in the past six months, and each of those meetings you've attended has already earned you an extra raffle ticket. Additional raffle tickets are available for a $10 donation each.
See you Tuesday night, June 2, at 7:00 pm!
Be sure to RSVP so that we can contact you with any last-minute changes!6 attendees
