Augmented Making and Prototyping

Use AI as a material, not a slot machine.

Build repeatable multimodal workflows for layouts, content, imagery, prototypes, motion, and code.

You will build

A deployed interactive prototype built through a documented human–AI production workflow.

Your proof artifact

Working prototype, prompt and tool trace, asset manifest, accessibility pass, and production notes.

Required Alternate Clouds deployment

Multimodal Design Prototype Starter

Class requirement: create or sign in to your Alternate Clouds account, deploy the Multimodal Design Prototype Starter template, and submit its live URL before the class is marked complete.

Copyright and rights clearance

Use only work you own or are authorized to use.

Every submission needs a source-and-license manifest covering text, code, images, audio, video, fonts, datasets, models, weights, and AI reference inputs. Attribution alone is not permission. Questionable material stays private or is replaced before deployment or showcase.

01Prompt as process

Structure exploration around variables, references, constraints, selection, and revision.

Applied exercise

Turn a successful one-off prompt into a repeatable production recipe.

02Variation with a reason

Generate against explicit dimensions such as hierarchy, density, tone, and interaction—not arbitrary volume.

Applied exercise

Create a comparison grid where every variation tests a named question.

03Agents that make

Use coding and design agents for components, prototypes, content systems, and mechanical production.

Applied exercise

Deploy one useful prototype and record every human correction.

04Multimodal production

Coordinate text, image, motion, audio, and code while preserving consistency and rights metadata.

Applied exercise

Produce one cross-format campaign or feature from a single source system.

The complete course adds the teaching deck, Alternate Clouds lab, source-bounded guide, review rubric, and instructor feedback.
