An introduction to generative visual AI tools
While it’s tempting to fear new tech that evolves as rapidly as artificial intelligence has these last few months, designers must instead embrace the change, learn to harness the power and unleash the creative potential of generative AI. Getting to know it is a great place to start.
This workshop provides a comprehensive analysis of the creative generative AI tool landscape and the correlation of these tools to common design use cases. Together we’ll demystify the landscape of generative AI and delve into the art of prompt crafting – including an in-depth exploration of Midjourney prompting for efficient art and asset creation.
You’ll leave this session with access to a resource library, a dedicated Design Dept Slack channel for continued discussion and collaboration, and a solid understanding of key factors you should consider when evaluating generative AI tools for your individual or team workflows.

A note about remote
Our remote workshop formats are highly interactive, providing multiple opportunities for you to learn from our facilitators and from other leaders in the Zoom room.
No preparation or homework is required. We don’t expect you to do anything before the workshop other than create the space and time for focusing with us.
We do expect participants to show up ready to contribute. We also ask that you keep cameras on during conversational sections, so find a place where you can do that comfortably. We don’t mind pets, kids, or partners walking around in the background—it’s life these days!
Each workshop is:
taught live by one of our instructors via Zoom
a blend of lecture, solo reflection, group discussion, and small-group activities
mindful of the importance of safe spaces (breakout rooms) for small-group activities
an opportunity to learn and grow, and includes your own workbook to use in solo and group activities
