Class 14 this weekend focused on advanced prompting and dissecting client briefs. We taught Cohort 3 that before touching any AI tools, they must first read the document, understand the core problem, and do their own visual research. Using this framework, we developed 6 scenes.
Today, Cohort 3 is tackling a custom client brief developed by the studio. We are focusing on advanced prompting and style development. The students will learn how to communicate technical ideas to AI to build a cohesive illustration system and generate precise visual references.
Class 13 was a detailed breakdown of Style Development. We taught Cohort 3 that an illustration style is the sum of conscious micro-detailing decisions. We covered studying Pinterest references, visualizing color palettes, exploring Figma Draw to build stickers and so much more.
Week 4 of Cohort 3 was intense but beautiful. @dean_maj focused on logo construction and typography. The students also adapted to Adobe Illustrator and are now building full brand identities in groups. โบ๏ธ
