Proposal approved Week 10 · Studio Week 13 · Presented Week 14. 25% of your grade. The full brief is on the class journal: Final — Designing With (or Against) AI

<aside> 📋

Every final project turns in five things: the body of work, this process book, your finalized Personal AI-Use Policy, a 500-word critical reflection, and a 3–5 minute director's commentary.

Discover — the research

What already exists in this territory, who has taken a position on it, and who is this for? Credit human sources by name. Mark what you verified and what you couldn't.

Define — the brief

What are you making, for whom, and why? One paragraph in your own words, plus the sketches, structure or wireframes that came out of it.

Design — the iteration log

Chronological, granular. Duplicate for each round.
