About this course

If you have an eye, you can ship pro-grade visuals — you just need the vocabulary to describe what's in your head. This course gives you that vocabulary AND the model decision tree, so you stop wasting credits on the wrong tool. Pairs symmetrically with Claude Code Fundamentals — design and code, both as prompts.

What you'll learn

Describe a design well enough to get 80% of the way there in one prompt
Pick the right image model for the job — every model has a sweet spot
Build a /brand page that locks in your tokens / type / buttons / spacing system
Generate reference-driven product photos that look real, not AI
Use Higgsfield for cinematic photo + short-form video
Ship dynamic personalized creative at scale — one template, thousands of variants
Know when to DIY vs hire — the honest cost/quality threshold
