Summary: Adapt this assignment process from GBDA 202, where students use AI as a tool to create a series of graphic designs based on original non-AI writing. It includes class time for talking through students’ design process, showing proof of their work, and critiquing the output.
Instructional goal: Students first develop foundational design skills, including sketching, photography, and writing by hand before using AI tools to enhance their original design ideas.
Process:
- Students first draft their designs without the use of AI tools, ensuring their original versions are retained as proof of work.
- After creating original designs, students use AI as design assets to enhance and “remix” their work.
- Students showcase their final products by describing any challenges and insights encountered during the design process via an oral presentation.
- Students submit their final designs for evaluation, including previous iterations of the work.
