Modern designers are increasingly required to focus on rapid iteration, multi-platform consistency, and personalized experiences, but are often held back by time-consuming manual production, creative bottlenecks, and the challenge of scaling unique content.

AI for Design includes step-by-step, implementation-focused workflows designed for immediate impact. We cover essential knowledge and dive into high-value AI strategies and tools that successful designers are using today.

What you’ll gain from this course:

• Automate repetitive production tasks: Learn to use AI tools to rapidly resize assets, generate numerous design variations from data, and adapt visuals for multiple platforms, so you can reclaim hours spent on manual work.
• Accelerate ideation and concept development: Leverage AI as a brainstorming partner to generate diverse visual concepts, mood board ideas, and explore creative directions instantly, helping you overcome blocks and broaden initial explorations.
• Streamline content and proposal generation: Master workflows to synthesize client notes into structured briefs, draft compelling UX copy, and even automate initial proposal text from call insights, enabling faster client response and project kickoff.
• Master prompt engineering for design tasks: Develop skills to craft precise instructions for both conversational AIs and image generators to get consistently high-quality, relevant outputs for concepts, copy, and visuals.
• Enhance design feedback and accessibility: Utilize AI's image analysis capabilities to get preliminary feedback on mockups based on design principles and efficiently draft descriptive alt-text for visuals, improving workflow and inclusivity.
• Implement AI responsibly in design: Understand and navigate critical ethical considerations—data privacy with client briefs, copyright of AI visuals, mitigating bias in generated content, and ensuring transparency—so you can innovate with confidence and integrity.
• Develop a strategic AI mindset for design: Learn to intuitively identify when and how to integrate AI tools effectively, balancing automation with human creativity and judgment to elevate your design practice.

Step into the future of design with the AI skills to amplify your creativity, accelerate your workflows, and lead impactful projects.

The AI for coding course at Rundown AI University 20x'd my output as a software developer without me having to figure everything out myself. Their other courses on writing, email marketing, and various AI applications were equally valuable. I'm grateful to be part of this community that teaches both the power and practical limitations of AI.

The new RU platform looks great—much more modern and easier to use. The direction of the new niche courses feels far more relevant to where AI’s actually being used day-to-day. The consulting one in particular stood out and feels spot-on.

~ James Wheable

This is great for anyone interested in AI — no technical knowledge needed. I highly recommend it and am currently preparing to take the exam for certification.

Thanks for the fantastic lessons you guys have here on your AI university website. I just started at a new company, working on designing and developing the front end of a Healthcare webportal, and am already outperforming their expectations.

The Rundown opened up my eyes to what's possible with AI. Going into it I only tinkered on a couple AI tools but didn't actually use them in my work — and after only a couple days of learning. I created an AI agent that responds to my emails n my behalf. Game changer for my business.

With both overviews and deep dives in every direction AI, there's no better way to stay relevant and on top of the best ways to implement these new technologies into our lives. If you have specific questions, or are looking for networking opportunities. The Rundown is the place to be.

“Brainstorms are now focused. Mood boards built with AI help align teams early.”

“Accessibility checks happen during—not after—design. That’s raised our quality with less rework.”

“Dev handoffs are smoother. Documentation is clear, consistent, and respected.”

“The course encourages bold ideas—but always within the client’s frame. That balance builds trust.”

“Designers who want more tools without losing voice will find this both inspiring and grounded.”
