Midjourney

This specialized course is a deep dive into Midjourney, widely considered the premier tool for artistic AI image generation. Students will move far beyond basic “text-to-image” commands, mastering the platform’s advanced parameters, permutation prompts, style tuners, and curation tools. The course treats Midjourney as a professional instrument, teaching students how to achieve consistent, high-resolution, and commercially viable results for illustration, concept art, and design.

§ 01 By the end you can
  1. Master the Discord interface and Midjourney bot syntax
  2. Utilize advanced parameters (--ar, --stylize, --chaos, --weird) for precise control
  3. Apply "Permutation Prompts" to generate rapid variations for client options
  4. Master the "Remix," "Zoom," and "Pan" features for compositional editing
  5. Develop a personal "Style Tuner" code to maintain a consistent aesthetic portfolio

Advanced AI Techniques for Creative PracticeThis capstone-level technical course is for students who have mastered basic prompting and wish to push the engine to its limits.
AI as Co-CreatorThis course challenges the "Man vs. Machine" narrative, proposing instead a symbiotic relationship where Artificial Intelligence acts as a collaborator.
AI as Creative PartnerThis interdisciplinary studio course reframes Artificial Intelligence from a "tool" to a "collaborator." It focuses on the psychological and workflow dynamics of working with a non-human intelligence.
AI, Code, & Art (AI & Art track)Designed for the technical artist, this advanced track dives under the hood of generative tools. While other courses focus on using interface-based tools (like Midjourney), this course focuses on programming them.
AI, Design, and Immersive ExperiencesThis capstone immersive course merges Virtual Reality (VR) with Artificial Intelligence. Students will learn to create "Smart Environments"—virtual worlds populated by AI agents that can converse, navigate, and react to the user.
AI-Driven Fashion DesignThis specialized course explores the intersection of high fashion and artificial intelligence. Students will learn to use generative tools to predict trends, design textiles, and visualize garments without the need for physical waste.
