What you'll learn

  • Map ten design crafts and tag your week as AI, no-AI or hybrid.
  • Write the brief to ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini with a fixed structure and use each chat for what it does well.
  • Use Midjourney for the look, Firefly and Photoshop to finish and Figma for UI, logging every step.
  • Apply a tool recipe per craft: identity, editorial, social, packaging, UI, motion, photo, illustration, presentations and print.
  • Handle rights, licences, consistency and transparency of generated material in 2026.
  • Present a named A/B/C round with written criteria, close it in two rounds and defend the final package.
  • Apply the IntellCore AI Act Method™: classify the risk of an AI use case in your field and document it under the AI Act 2026.
