About this program
Visuals don’t travel as easily as we think. An image that works perfectly in one market can confuse, alienate, or even offend in another. This hands-on, practical course shows you how to create and adapt images and videos for market-fit using the latest AI tools intelligently, responsibly, and effectively.
This is not a “how to generate pretty images” class.
It’s a real-world training on creating local-ready visuals that make cultural, regional, and commercial sense, while respecting brand rules, ethics, compliance, and business constraints.
You’ll learn how to transform existing visual assets and create new ones that resonate with local audiences, using AI as a precision tool, not a shortcut.
In this training, you’ll get hands-on experience with leading AI tools, experimenting directly with their strengths, limitations, and best-fit use cases:
Image generation & editing: Midjourney, Nano Banana, Genspark, Leonardo AI, Ideogram
Video, voice & avatars: HeyGen, ElevenLabs, Synthesia
