AI WORKSHOPS
New Ai tools are published every day. This is exciting but also overwhelming. Each Thursday, we are going to explore AI tools in online, interactive Workshops.
Together we will create images, seamless patterns, logos, color palettes, typography, and a no-code website landing page. Each class covers one topic. Not everything works well with AI and we will talk about limitations as well.
The generated images are inspiring, but will not always be a final design. This will not replace a professional designer or strategic ideation phase. But it will give you many prototype options and minimum-viable products.
​
The workshops are for designers or anyone who wants to get design ideas. No AI experience is necessary. Sign up on eventbrite, see buttons below.
