AI design for brand visuals

The five AI Atelier modules

The curriculum moves from branding fundamentals and tool selection through image and video production, then applies those skills to a solo client business.

Module 1: AI design and visual language

Start with AI design in a branding context: how brands use it, how a creative can position their services, and how lens, lighting, time and tone contribute to a visual language.

Module 2: GPT, Kling, Midjourney and Sora

Explore Niko’s tool stack, using GPT for research and ideas, Midjourney for images, Kling for video generation and Sora for cinematic clips. The module also discusses free versus paid tools and the creation of editorial-quality moodboards.

Module 3: Advanced image prompting

Work with chain prompting and reverse prompting to develop consistent branded image sets without Photoshop. The lessons also address realistic skin textures and ways to place physical products inside AI-generated scenes.

Module 4: Cinematic AI video

Use Kling and Sora in a video workflow aimed at smooth, cinematic clips. The module introduces the FRAME prompting framework and includes two complete demonstrations of 10-second brand videos.

Module 5: Finding and serving clients

Build a client acquisition and delivery process for a solo creative business. The module covers where to find clients, DM and email outreach, pricing, onboarding, contracts, payment setup and delivery, with a Notion client portal template.
