Move beyond prompts to production-ready creative systems. Learn to orchestrate leading AI models to build repeatable workflows that deliver consistent, on-brand visual assets.
Course Summary

About this Course
Visual design with AI has changed.
The landscape has shifted. Prompting alone isn’t enough. Today’s most effective designers are learning how to orchestrate AI models into repeatable, production-ready creative workflows.
AI for Visual Design is a four-week, live online course that teaches you how to build AI-powered creative systems—not just generate one-off images. Through weekly live lectures, hands-on projects, and mentor-led peer sessions, you’ll learn how to combine leading image and video models with orchestration tools like FLORA to produce high-quality stills, scalable brand systems, and short-form video content.
Rather than focusing on isolated outputs, this course helps you develop a durable AI design practice. You’ll learn how to structure prompts, models, and tools into workflows you can reuse, adapt, and share—whether you’re working solo or collaborating with a broader design or marketing team.
By the end of the course, you won’t just understand how AI fits into visual design—you’ll have workflows you can put to work immediately.
Unique Course Structure to Maximize Learning
Weekly Video Lectures
Each week features a live lecture packed with demos, not slides. Watch models get orchestrated in real-time, see failures and fixes, and leave ready to replicate what you saw.

Peer Group Sessions
Mid-week, you'll meet with a small group and expert mentor to troubleshoot, critique work-in-progress, and practice techniques together.


HaNds-on project work
Each week builds toward a tangible deliverable: a model comparison matrix, a brand asset system, a campaign video suite, and finally a complete production workflow you can reuse and share.

mentor feedback
Get written feedback on your project work from an expert practitioner who's building with these tools professionally.

Who It’s For

FOR Designers and CREATIVES EMBRACING AI INNOVATION
This course is for visual designers, art directors, marketers, brand designers, and any creative who has experimented with AI tools but haven't yet built repeatable systems. You've generated images—now we'll teach you to generate workflows.
The course is particularly beneficial for those who regularly ship creative work professionally and want to move from one-off experiments to scalable production pipelines. While many participants will likely have some experience with tools like Midjourney and DALL-E, such experience isn't a prerequisite.

Course Curriculum
The Modern AI Creative Stack
Set up your orchestration hub. Learn the most up-to-date model landscape. Generate your first multi-model outputs and build a decision framework for model selection.
Visual direction & control
Move beyond prompts to creative direction. Use reference images, control signals, and style guides to generate consistent, on-brand assets.
Motion & Video Production
Video is now table stakes. Generate and refine videos—image-to-video, camera control, storyboard pipelines. Deliver a campaign video suite with multiple cuts.
Production workflows & delivery
Build repeatable workflows. Export production-ready assets and integrate with your existing tools. Leave with a system, not just samples.

of the Course
"This is probably the most fun & interesting class I've taken... This course sparked my imagination. There's so many possibilities with AI technology for visual/animation design."
"This was such a great course I feel so much more comfortable with AI and its tools. I"
"The mentor really helps tie everything from the lesson together. Being able to ask questions in the peer groups is great too... My coworker and I have been discussing how to use what we have learned in the course for our marketing assets. It's an entirely new approach for us."
"The exercises were a great way to "force" exploration of various AI tools and workflows. Having a mentor I could ping with questions was really helpful as well."

Frequently Asked Questions
This course is ideal for visual designers, marketers, brand designers, and any creative looking to learn the latest AI workflows for visual asset creation. There are no strict prerequisites although the course will be most beneficial for people who create visual assets professionally and at scale.
If you’re just starting out in UX/UI design, we suggest taking UX Academy Foundations, a 4-8 week course that teaches the fundamentals to visual and user interface design.
This course centers on FLORA as your orchestration platform, connecting to leading models including Seedream (for photorealistic and illustrated imagery), Nano Banana Pro (for identity-consistent characters and brand assets), Runway (for high quality video generation) and VEO (for video generation with sound). You'll also use models like Claude and ChatGPT for ideation and scripting.
To take this course you'll need:
FLORA Pro account (usually $20/month) — includes access to 50+ leading text, image, and video models (like Seedream 4.5, Nano Banana Pro, and VEO 3.1). One month free through Designlab.
Yes. Students who successfully complete the AI for Visual Design course will receive a Certificate of Completion.
On Mondays at 2pm ET we will host a 90-minute live video lecture with the course creator on Livestorm. During this session you’ll be introduced to core concepts and see live demonstrations.
You’ll have the option of attending this session live or watching the video recording. Before attending your peer group session you should plan to watch this session and complete all the asynchronous lessons and exercises in the platform.
When you enroll in the course you will automatically be enrolled in this session on Livestorm.
Unique to the advanced courses Designlab offers, Peer Group Sessions are regularly scheduled meetings where you connect with other students in the course to discuss the course work. These are facilitated by a professional product designer who has expert-level experience in the topic of the course. The Peer Group Sessions for this course will be held weekly for 60 minutes each.
After you enroll in the course, you’ll be emailed a link to confirm the course details and select your peer group time. Typically, peer groups are held several days throughout the week at 12pm ET (9am PT) and 6pm ET (3pm PT).

Hi {Manager Name},
I’m writing to you about a course called AI for Visual Design that I’d love to enroll in using my learning & development budget. The course is on Designlab, a platform that’s trained thousands of UX / UI / Product Designers who work at companies like Netflix, Amazon, and Google.
Unlike many AI courses that focus on individual tools or one-off outputs, this course is specifically focused on building AI-powered creative workflows that can be reused, adapted, and shared across a team. It reflects how AI is now being used in real production environments—not just for experimentation.
The course covers topics including:
- Designing AI-powered creative systems, moving beyond basic prompt writing to orchestration and workflow design
- Combining leading image and video models into repeatable workflows using orchestration tools like FLORA
- Producing production-ready outputs, including still imagery, scalable brand systems, and short-form video content
- Structuring prompts, references, and model configurations to maintain brand consistency across visual assets
- Applying AI workflows in practical design contexts that support speed, quality, and collaboration
-
The format is designed for working professionals and includes live instruction, hands-on projects, and weekly mentor-led peer sessions. The emphasis is on immediately applicable workflows rather than theoretical concepts. The course costs $799 USD, and you can check out the course details here.
