Designing with AI

This course offers a hands-on exploration of how artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the design process, enabling professionals to create faster, smarter, and more imaginative work. Participants will learn to use cutting-edge tools like Adobe Sensei, Firefly, Midjourney, and other AI generators to streamline workflows and enhance creative output. From neural filters and generative fills in Photoshop to dynamic color generation in Illustrator, the course covers a wide range of AI-powered features that help automate repetitive tasks, refine visual elements, and rapidly prototype design ideas. Learners will also experiment with combining multiple tools—such as Firefly and Midjourney—to develop unique visual concepts and iterate efficiently.

Throughout the course, students will engage in practical exercises that simulate real-world design challenges, including building layered compositions, generating mood boards, and creating interactive visuals. The curriculum emphasizes the integration of AI into existing design environments, showing how to connect manual techniques with generative systems for optimal results. By the end of the course, participants will be able to confidently use AI to support ideation, accelerate production, and elevate the quality of their design work across various mediums. Whether working on branding, digital art, UX/UI, or visual effects, this course equips designers with the tools and techniques to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving creative industry.

Contents:

• Introducing AI in the Creative Industry to explore how artificial intelligence transforms design workflows and enhances creative output.
• Using Adobe Sensei Tools to automate tasks and refine visuals through intelligent features like Content-Aware Fill and the Remove tool.
• Applying Neural Filters in Photoshop to manipulate images with AI-powered effects such as Landscape Mixer, Smart Portrait, and Style Transfer.
• Working with Adobe Firefly to generate visuals and colors using AI both as a standalone app and within Photoshop and Illustrator.
• Exploring Midjourney and Alternatives to rapidly develop visual concepts and iterate designs using generative AI platforms.
• Combining AI Tools in Design Exercises to integrate Firefly, Midjourney, and manual techniques for creating layered and interactive compositions.

This course is designed for a wide range of learners—from professional designers working in graphic design, UX/UI, and visual effects, to hobbyists and creative enthusiasts who use Adobe tools recreationally. Whether you’re a student who has taken short Adobe courses or someone exploring AI-driven creativity for personal projects, this course offers valuable insights into how artificial intelligence can enhance and streamline the design process. A basic familiarity with tools like Photoshop and Illustrator is recommended, along with a curiosity to experiment with AI-powered features and workflows that elevate both professional and personal design work.
