Practice Projects
Apply your skills with hands-on projects. Ordered by difficulty.
AI Logo Starter Kit
BeginnerCreate a collection of 50 unique logo concepts for a fictional tech company by mastering prompt engineering in Midjourney and DALL-E. Then, select and vectorize the top 3 concepts.
Automated Logo Variant Generator
IntermediateBuild a Python script that takes a brand name and core adjectives, automatically generates 10 prompt variations, calls an AI API to generate images, and saves them in an organized folder structure with a summary report.
Brand Identity System from AI Core
IntermediateStart with an AI-generated logo mark. Develop a complete brand identity system in Figma, including primary/secondary logos, color palette, typography scale, and basic business card mockup.
Style-Transfer Logo Project
AdvancedUse Stable Diffusion with ControlNet to apply the artistic style of a famous painter (e.g., Picasso's cubism) to a modern SaaS logo concept, ensuring the logo remains legible and functional.
End-to-End Automation Platform
AdvancedDesign and build a simple web app (using Streamlit or Gradio) where a user can input brand brief details, select a style template, and receive a set of generated, background-removed logo concepts. Integrate GitHub Actions for deployment.
