ABOUT
THIS
COURSE
The world of visual AI is moving ridiculously fast. Midjourney, Nano Banana, Figma Weave, FLORA, Seedance, image generators, video generators, editing tools, new models every other week. It can be difficult to know which ones actually matter and which ones are right for what you want to create.
This class gives you the lay of the land. We’ll introduce you to the key AI image and video tools, explain where each one shines and show you which are best suited to things like product photography, illustration, video and motion. By the end, you should have a much clearer idea of which tools are worth your attention and where to start without wasting money subscribing to everything. No prior AI experience is required.
BOOK NOWWhy do this course?
Every "best AI tools" article online is written by someone being paid to rank them. This is a working creative telling you what he actually uses, what he's stopped using, and what he'd reach for given your specific job. Come with a creative challenge and leave knowing where to start.
What You'll Learn
-
Which tool to reach for by job, not by hype: product shots, illustration, video, motion
-
What each one is genuinely good at, and where it falls over
-
How much you'll really spend, and which free tiers are worth trying first
-
How to pick one and get good at it, instead of collecting subscriptions you never open

Who it's for
Anyone making visual work who's been meaning to get into this properly but doesn't know where to start. No experience needed. Nothing to install.
How Drop In & Learn works
Live, online, and taught by a real person. One focused hour, in the time it takes to have lunch or fit in a workout.
Never recorded. That's deliberate. It means one room, real questions about your own work, and material that's current on the day you attend rather than a video filmed six months ago. You'll get a full PDF walkthrough afterwards, so nothing is lost, but the hour itself only happens once.
Can't make it? Let us know at least 24 hours ahead and we'll move your booking to a future session.
See our Terms and Conditions for full details.
Afterwards
You'll get a PDF summary of everything we cover, with the shortlist and where to start.
