What to expect

This is not a lecture. It’s a guided creative session where we'll dive into the wild world of image and video AI. We’ll experiment, and compare tools in real time, so you leave with a toolkit you trust and ideas you’re excited to build on.

You’ll create your own moodboards, image variations, and short video snippets, and most importantly, you’ll learn how to translate your imagination into actual outputs with the help of AI.

What we’ll do

• Explore how different tools “think” visually + how to get the best out of each
• Develop technical vocabulary of photography, videography, art styles, and fashion references
• Work with your own ideas (no need to come with anything polished, we’ll start where you are). We use mistakes as a porthole to creativity and do extensive ideation and prototyping.
• Compare strengths and styles across platforms: fast, fun, and side-by-side
• Use quick prompts, remix techniques, and visual storytelling hacks
• Reflect, share and discuss! What worked, what surprised you, and where you want to take it next.
• How to keep a critical thinking mindset!

The tools we’ll use

You’ll get hands-on time with:
Midjourney – poetic prompts, dreamy aesthetics
Video Tools - like Veo 3 or Runway
ChatGPT – your creative co-pilot for prompts & ideas
Adobe Firefly – pro polish, design-focused
Ideogram – surprising style combinations & typography

Topaz and other tools will be introduced.
Miro – as a workshop facilitation tool and to post you moodboard

We’ll also talk about workflows: when to use which tool, and how to mix tools for more control and better results.

Who is it for?

Designers, creatives, students, tinkerers, marketers, branders, start-ups, entrepreneurs, and visual thinkers who want to understand the AI landscape and start making with intention and confidence. No need for prior AI experience, just bring curiosity and your laptop.

You’ll leave with:

• A set of images and/or videos you’ve made
• A roadmap on how to prompt most effectively
• An AI tool comparison map
• A handful of prompts and techniques to reuse
• Clarity on what tools work best for you
• Ideas and resources to explore further, maybe even your next project spark
• PDFs from the Book "The Best AI Tools for Designers" (value 28 euro)
• Viva Academy Certificate for your Workplace
