Full Course Breakdown

LESSON 2
Icon Design Fundamentals: Grids, Weight, and Visual Consistency
Understand the anatomy of an icon system: grids, stroke weight, corner radius, optical alignment, and why consistency is harder than it looks.
LESSON 3
Prompting AI for Consistent Icon Sets
Write prompts that generate entire icon families in one style instead of 20 unrelated one-offs. Covers Midjourney, Recraft, and Ideogram workflows.
LESSON 4
From AI Output to Clean Vectors
Convert AI raster output to production-ready SVG: vectorization with Recraft, Vectorizer.AI, and Illustrator’s Image Trace, plus manual path cleanup.
LESSON 5
Illustration Styles: Spot, Hero, and Empty State
The three illustration formats every product needs, and how to generate each with AI while matching your brand.
LESSON 6
Building a Consistent Illustration Library
Scale from one illustration to twenty without losing your style. Covers style guides, prompt libraries, and reusable character systems.
LESSON 7
Exporting and Optimizing for Web and App
SVG optimization, PNG fallbacks, sprite sheets, and icon fonts. Plus React/Vue component generation from SVGs.
LESSON 8
Shipping to a Design System and Developer Handoff
Get your icons and illustrations into Figma libraries, Storybook, and design tokens so engineers can use them without asking you.
