How Artificial Intelligence, Creative Coding, Real-Time Engines, and Interactive Media are reshaping Graphic Design, Photography, and Fine Arts transfer admissions.
01 // Generative AI & Computational Imaging GEN-AI
Node-based diffusion pipelines, custom model fine-tuning on your own studio drawings/photography, generative typography, and hybrid human-craft + machine workflows.
02 // Creative Coding & Generative Systems CODE
Algorithmic visual identity systems, audio-reactive visuals, custom variable font tools, interactive web art, and live shader programming taught at UCLA DMA, MIT, NYU ITP, and RISD.
03 // Spatial XR, Game Engines & Physical Tech XR / IO
Real-time worldbuilding, playable media, projection-mapped installations, kinetic sculpture, and sensor-driven interactive environments.
04 // University Admission Portfolio AI Rules POLICY
CRITICAL RULE FOR APPLICANTS: Never submit uncredited text-to-image prompts in place of observational drawing, painting, or foundational typography (strictly prohibited by RISD, Cal Poly BFA, Cooper Union, ArtCenter). When AI IS celebrated: When you build custom creative-coding systems, train models on your own art, design AI UX/UI interfaces, or critically interrogate AI—and explicitly document your human + computational process in the slide metadata.
