Premier Apple partner Power Mac Center (PMC) is serving tech smarts and industry savvy with its latest series of workshops featuring some of today’s movers and shakers. “Masterclass. Create like a Pro” is designed to help users of the Mac and iPad, especially students and aspiring artists, get to know their devices better and stretch their digital prowess.

The upcoming sessions will be held from October to December, to be conducted in person at designated PMC Apple Premium Partner (APP) stores and online. Limited slots are available to optimize participation.

“We put together this program to help our customers discover what they want out of life or their careers through the different perspectives of our guest speakers. These are personalities who journey with the Mac and iPad and continue to achieve great success. Don’t miss this chance, because even those who are not in the metro can still join us virtually,” said Joey Alvarez, PMC Director for Marketing and Product Management.

Upcoming sessions will be on October 26 (ImagineoniPad) at PMC SM City North EDSA – Annex with illustrator Jethro Olba and content creator/entrepreneur Laureen Uy; November 16 (Mac&Me) at PMC TriNoma with content creator Janina Vela and director Samantha Lee; and December 7 (ImagineoniPad) at PMC Power Plant Mall with singer-songwriter/music producer Noah Raquel and visual artist Jer Dee.

Joining is free but on a first-come, first-served basis. Each of the onsite classes can only accommodate 15 to 20 students, while the virtual rooms have a maximum capacity of 30 per session. Stay tuned to Power Mac Center’s OFFICIAL accounts on Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, Viber, and YouTube for the sign up details.

Participants are encouraged to bring their own devices and block off their afternoon, as the sessions are estimated to run from 3-6PM (3 hours).

Brand filmmaker Sid Maderazo and photographer Artu Nepomuceno helmed the inaugural Masterclass last month. Maderazo took his students to a comprehensive exploration of creating a brand film (TV commercial), where he discussed the entire process from concept development and storyboard creation all the way to post-production, perfectly executed in his MacBook Pro.

Nepomuceno brought his wealth of experience in fashion, portrait, and advertising photography—as well as running the business—to guide the attendees. He talked about developing his art to find his creative voice and using it to promote advocacies, creating authentic photos and processing them in his Mac to effectively make his visions and stories come to life.

The campaign spotlights the powerful Mac and iPad lines for handling demanding workflows typical of professionals, artists, and students. The MacBook Pro, for instance, allows you to be productive and creative all day with its battery life of up to 18 hours and beautiful display. Apple’s M3 Pro or M3 Max chip is inside, making everything you do fast and fluid. And like every Mac, it comes with encryption, robust virus protections, and a powerful firewall system so you don’t compromise privacy and security.

The iPad Pro M4, meanwhile, brings versatility, creativity, and productivity to your fingertips. Run multiple apps at once without a hitch, or transform it into your personal drawing canvas, notebook, or journal with the help of Apple Pencil Pro.
