AI may be Generative, but it’s Not Creative.
AI is generative, not creative. The thing that is the most challenging for AI to do is
Typography. As human UI/UX professionals, we’ve got something special – an eye for detail,
a sense of balance, and the ability to make interfaces not just functional, but beautiful
and meaningful.
Let’s go back to our creative roots. Sketching, digital drawing, kerning, tracking and
typesetting – join 6 hours of creative time to hone our typographic skills and remain
competitive in this landscape of AI!
Remember why you fell in love with UI/UX? It wasn’t about letting computers do the work.
Whether you’re crafting pixel-perfect designs, writing clean code, or shaping product
strategy, it was always about creating experiences that resonate, interfaces that delight,
and products that users love with your own two hands. In this AI-crazy world, that human
touch is more important than ever.
Who is this workshop for?
This workshop is designed for UI/UX professionals who want to deepen their understanding of typography.
Whether you’re a student, freelancer, or experienced professional, this course will help you
level up your design skills and stay competitive in a field where AI is becoming a bigger player.
What will I learn?
You’ll gain a deeper grasp of typography, from the intricacies of letter forms to creating effective
typographic hierarchies. You’ll learn practical skills like letter drawing, digital type manipulation,
