AI for Designers

Annika Bäckström is an award-winning designer, artist, and art director who uses generative AI to enhance her creative work. In this course, she will share how AI has influenced and evolved her design process and how you can use it to tell a story. 

This course offers a deep exploration of AI tools, giving you the opportunity to experiment with them through a hands-on project. Over two days, you’ll learn the best AI tools for visual work and master advanced prompting techniques to achieve your desired creative results. By the end, you'll have the skills and confidence to incorporate AI into your design process.

We’ll also discuss the ethical and legal aspects of using AI in design, covering copyright, intellectual property, experience existensial crises and discuss how to responsibly balance machine-generated and human-created content.

This course aims at Designers, Photographers, Illustrators, and Creatives in general who already use AI, who have basic prompting techniques, and who are hungry for more - and for more refined output. We imagine that you are familiar with the Adobe Creative suite and that you can easily mock things up. You’ll learn exciting new tools, above and beyond Midjourney, and you’ll try advanced prompting techniques to fully develop your creative ideas.

To make the most out of the course, you should bring your computer to the session. You should be ready to activate some accounts over the 2 days of course (estimate a budget from 20 to 100 USD, depending on your choice of tools. This is not included in the course fee. You can use free accounts when available).
The course is delivered in English and most tools prefer that you prompt in English.
