# Practical: create a visual direction board

AI Content Creation | Module 10: Direct AI images

## Your goal

Make two image prompts and two rough concepts, using generated images or hand sketches.

Bring together the two lessons in this module. Make two image prompts and two rough concepts, using generated images or hand sketches. Use the fictional Green Bench source pack, and keep missing details visible in your working notes.

Your finished work should include: A visual brief and two labelled concepts. A selected concept, revision request, and review notes. Keep the actual text in the workspace. For media, describe your file or storyboard, its version, and the decisions it shows. Media files stay on your device; this form saves text only.

Try this review experiment: View each concept at phone size. Check whether the notebook and the space for event text remain clear. Record what changed and why. You may use your own AI tool or work from the supplied sample drafts. Label which approach you used. The checklist checks completeness and your review record, not creative quality.

## Source pack

FICTIONAL PRACTICE BRIEF: Green Bench is a student repair club. It runs a free notebook-cover repair workshop on Saturday, 14:00 to 16:00, in Room B. There are 12 places. Learners bring one worn notebook; tools and scrap card are provided. Register using the club form. No date, form URL, access arrangements, impact figures, or testimonials have been supplied. Ask the organiser about missing details before publishing. This is a creative exercise, not a real event.

## Worked example

Make two image prompts and two rough concepts, using generated images or hand sketches.

### Your finished work

A visual brief and two labelled concepts. Start from the examples in the two earlier lessons, then write your own complete version or a detailed account of your media asset.

### Evidence and review

Use this experiment: View each concept at phone size. Check whether the notebook and the space for event text remain clear. Record the observations, source checks, and any unresolved questions.

### Revision and next step

Describe a specific change to this assignment and explain how it helps the reader. Keep the previous version for comparison.

## Guided practical

1. Revisit lessons 10-01 and 10-02 and collect your drafts.
2. Make two image prompts and two rough concepts, using generated images or hand sketches.
3. Use your own tool or the supplied examples. Keep the source facts, prompt, and draft together.
4. View each concept at phone size. Check whether the notebook and the space for event text remain clear.
5. Revise the work, complete the worksheet, and record any remaining publication blockers.

### Deliverables

- A visual brief and two labelled concepts.
- A selected concept, revision request, and review notes.

## Your work

Make two image prompts and two rough concepts, using generated images or hand sketches.

### Your finished work

Write at least 30 words.


### Evidence and review

Write at least 20 words.


### Revision and next step

Write at least 15 words.

## Review your work

- [ ] I included a visual brief and two labelled concepts.
- [ ] I included a selected concept, revision request, and review notes.
- [ ] I recorded an actual review result and a specific revision.

Completeness checks do not assess creative quality or factual accuracy. Review the actual work yourself or with a mentor.

## Quiz
