I want to make things: a practical AI learning path
Direct an image or creative project with a clear purpose and a repeatable review process.
Find a direction. Make a brief. Refine the details.
Direct an image or creative project with a clear purpose and a repeatable review process.
Take these at your own pace. Mark completion after practicing, not as a qualification.
1. Use AI for creative directions, then make a real choice
Explore genuinely different ideas for a campaign, story, or design using constraints and explicit tradeoffs.
Practice: Choose one project and ask for three approaches with different premises. Score each on audience fit and feasibility before editing any wording.
2. How to write an AI image prompt with a clear visual idea
Turn a vague image request into a brief with a subject, composition, lighting, and an intended use.
Practice: Build a brief in the image lab. Try two versions with only the composition changed and compare them at the intended display size.
3. Edit AI images without losing the parts you like
Use a change list, preserve list, and simple review sheet to direct image revisions.
Practice: Take an image you are allowed to edit. Write three things to preserve and one thing to change. Compare the result against all four.
4. Write with AI without losing your own voice
Use a small writing sample, an editing brief, and a meaning check to improve a draft without flattening it.
Practice: Edit a 150-word draft. Compare the original and revision sentence by sentence, then undo one change you dislike.
Your small project
Make a small event concept: a chosen creative direction, one image brief, and a short invitation in your own voice.
