Introduction<\/h2>\nIntroduction<\/h2>\nThis assignment encourages you to learn more about a digital medium that we touched on earlier in the course. You may choose to explore this medium with pre-AI digital methods, or use generative AI, or use both methods and compare the two.<\/p>\n
For this initial stage, you’ll just complete a row in the “Dig Deeper” tab of this course’s Class Sheet. It will require some research but no actual media production. <\/p>\n
Fields to complete include:<\/p>\n
Choose among:<\/p>\n
You can also pick “Other” and specify your digital medium in the other fields.<\/p>\n
For this task, you have the choice to 1) explore only pre-AI tools and methods, 2) combine your own creativity with generative artificial intelligence, or 3) use both and compare the results.<\/p>\n
This field asks you to be more specific about the style or content you will explore for your medium. Genres are generic subtypes of media and include anime, science fiction, bluegrass, or murder mystery. Themes are broader philosophical or emotional issues and include topics like relationships, inequality, climate change, or mental health.<\/p>\n
Pick something that might interest you as a career or creative outlet. Here you must specify an experiment you’d like to try that involves your medium, choice of AI or human methods, and genre or theme. You can invent your own or use the course chatbot to generate suggestions and choose from among them.
