Text-to-image
Text-to-image generates visuals from description; the quality of the description sets the ceiling on the result.

The big idea
Students plan a campaign that carries a single message across text, image and audio, learning that creative direction — the consistent thread — matters more than any individual asset.
Why it matters
Multimodal communication mirrors how ideas actually spread now, and demands genuine planning to stay coherent.
Unpacked
What you will actually learn
Three core ideas, each taught with worked examples and then practised until it feels obvious.
Image-to-text
Image-to-text works in reverse — describing, extracting or explaining a picture — and is invaluable for accessibility.
Creative direction
Creative direction is the through-line: consistent colour, tone and message, so four pieces read as one campaign.
Did you know?
Multimodal models convert images and text into the same internal representation, which is how one system can compare a picture with a sentence.
Common mix-up
“More formats means more impact.” Four inconsistent pieces are weaker than two that clearly belong together.

Project lab
Cross-media campaign for a social cause
Every module ends with something the student built themselves and can demonstrate. This is the piece that goes into their portfolio and gets explained out loud at the end of session 40.
Try this at home
Write your campaign message in one sentence first. If any asset does not serve that sentence, cut it.
It is finished when
- It works from start to finish without breaking
- You can explain every part of it in your own words
- You tested it and improved at least one thing afterwards
- Someone else used or understood it without your help
