DESIGN WITH AI
A hands-on creative workshop by Alfons Scholing
Studio NotYouAgain.ai
Artificial intelligence is not here to replace your visual brain. It is here to challenge it, speed it up, and push your ideas into stranger, sharper, more unexpected directions.
In this workshop, Alfons Scholing, founder and creative director of Studio NotYouAgain.ai, introduces a practical way of working with AI as part of the design process: from concept development and visual research to branding, publishing, storytelling, and experimental image-making.
This is not a passive lecture about tools. It is a creative session about using AI like a studio partner: asking better questions, building stronger prompts, developing visual systems, and turning raw machine output into designed culture.
What you’ll explore
Concept development with AI
How to turn loose ideas into usable creative directions.
Prompting as art direction
How to brief AI like a designer, editor, director, or publisher.
Mood visuals and visual systems
How to generate atmosphere, style references, campaigns, characters, posters, and brand worlds.
AI for publishing and websites
How AI can support public posts, articles, flyers, WordPress visuals, social content, and digital campaigns.
From output to authorship
How to avoid generic AI aesthetics and bring your own taste, criticism, and design intelligence back into the work.
Who it’s for
This workshop is for designers, artists, students, makers, writers, publishers, entrepreneurs, and curious creatives who want to use AI without losing their own voice.
No advanced technical knowledge is required. Bring curiosity, visual taste, and a willingness to experiment.
Short promo version
Design with AI is a hands-on creative workshop by Alfons Scholing of Studio NotYouAgain.ai. Learn how to use AI for concept development, visual research, branding, publishing, and experimental design — without losing your own voice, taste, or authorship.
Studio NotYouAgain.ai launches new workshop: Design with AI
Studio NotYouAgain.ai introduces “Design with AI,” a new hands-on creative workshop by Alfons Scholing for designers, students, schools, cultural organizations, studios, and creative teams.
Artificial intelligence is no longer something sitting outside the design studio. It is inside the workflow, inside the moodboard, inside the prompt, inside the image, inside the question. The challenge is not whether creatives should use AI. The real challenge is how to use it without becoming generic.
That is exactly where Design with AI begins.
Led by Alfons Scholing, founder and creative director of Studio NotYouAgain.ai, this workshop introduces AI as a creative studio partner: a tool for concept development, visual research, branding, publishing, storytelling, image-making, and critical design thinking.
This is not a passive lecture about software. It is a working session. Participants sketch, prompt, question, generate, edit, compare, reject, rebuild, and develop visual directions with intention. The goal is not to let AI “make the work.” The goal is to learn how to direct it.
A workshop for the next design reality
Design culture is changing fast. Students, designers, artists, publishers, agencies, and cultural organizations are already surrounded by AI-generated images, automated writing tools, synthetic media, and new creative workflows.
But speed alone is not design.
Design with AI focuses on the human side of the process: taste, authorship, visual judgment, cultural context, and critical decision-making. Participants learn how to brief AI like an art director, how to build better prompts, how to generate mood visuals, how to develop visual systems, and how to turn raw AI output into something with identity, voice, and direction.
The workshop connects directly to the practice of Studio NotYouAgain.ai, where branding, publishing, speculative design, digital culture, and experimental storytelling are treated as one connected discipline.
What participants will explore
During the workshop, participants work with AI as part of a real creative process. The session can include:
Concept development with AI
Turning loose ideas into usable creative directions, campaigns, visual worlds, characters, posters, brand systems, and publication concepts.
Prompting as art direction
Learning how to brief AI with clarity, attitude, references, constraints, tone, and visual intent.
Mood visuals and visual systems
Using AI to develop atmosphere, style, identity, visual rhythm, color direction, typography references, editorial formats, and campaign imagery.
AI for branding and publishing
Applying AI workflows to websites, public posts, articles, flyers, social content, zines, campaigns, and digital storytelling.
From output to authorship
Understanding when to use AI, when to edit it, when to reject it, and how to bring personal taste and design intelligence back into the work.
Who the workshop is for
Design with AI is created for design academies, art schools, universities, creative departments, cultural institutions, studios, agencies, students, artists, writers, publishers, and independent makers.
The workshop is especially relevant for programmes and departments working with graphic design, visual communication, media design, art direction, creative technology, publishing, digital culture, interaction design, illustration, speculative design, storytelling, and contemporary visual research.
No advanced technical knowledge is required. The workshop is built around curiosity, experimentation, critical thinking, and the ability to look at images carefully.
