Course Planning

The course begins with an introduction to design principles—color theory, composition, and user-centered approaches—while integrating AI tools that support these processes. Students will then engage in hands-on workshops using AI platforms for image generation, layout optimization, prototyping, and creative ideation. Each module combines theory, practice, and reflection, allowing learners to apply AI not only as a tool but also as a creative collaborator.

Learning Objectives

The course aims to help students:

  • Understand AI technologies: Gain knowledge of machine learning, generative models, and design-focused AI applications.
  • Develop creative workflows: Learn how to integrate AI into design practice without losing originality or human touch.
  • Solve complex problems: Use AI to analyze design challenges and propose innovative solutions.
  • Reflect critically: Evaluate the ethical and cultural implications of AI-driven creativity.

Benefits for Students

This course equips learners with practical and future-ready skills:

  • Enhanced Creativity: Students discover how AI can serve as a partner in brainstorming, visual exploration, and rapid prototyping.
  • Efficiency and Innovation: By automating repetitive tasks, AI frees designers to focus on higher-level creativity and strategy.
  • Professional Relevance: Learners build a portfolio that demonstrates their ability to merge design expertise with cutting-edge technology, a highly valued skill in today’s industries.
  • Critical Perspective: Students develop the ability to question and guide the use of AI responsibly, balancing innovation with ethics.

Preparing for the Future

By the end of the course, students will have the confidence to use AI not just as a tool but as a collaborator that expands their creative horizons. With projects that combine originality, technology, and vision, graduates of AI-Augmented Design will be prepared to lead the next wave of innovation in design and beyond.
