Design a unique visual style with AI using briefs, prompts, Magnific workflows for professional sci fi projects
Learn how to build a clear visual style with AI and carry it through a full sci‑fi project.
Illustrator and trainer Jaime Sanjuan walks you through his working routine with tools like Magnific and ChatGPT. You start with a client brief and end with concept art, key art, and promotional images that actually feel like they belong together.
You’ll practice breaking down a brief with AI, pulling out the visual cues that matter, and writing prompts that reflect real artistic choices. Along the way, you’ll look closely at how style works in practice—composition, light, color, texture, atmosphere, symbolism, and story.
By the end, you’ll have a style you can reuse in illustration, concept design, or digital art, and you’ll try it out on posters, characters, and environments to make sure everything speaks the same visual language.
The course is for illustrators, designers, concept artists, and other creatives already experimenting with AI who want to build a personal visual identity instead of relying on default settings.

What's included in this course?
You’ll learn to read a creative brief the way you would a real client request: spotting the visual and story cues that matter and turning them into prompts that actually steer the AI. You’ll try out early ideas, compare what comes back, and get a feel for when an image is just bland or when it starts to develop its own voice.
Along the way, you’ll break down references or your own pieces to see what really makes a style tick—how you frame things, how the light falls, the mood, the color choices, the little symbols that keep showing up. You’ll turn those observations into simple rules you can reuse, build custom looks in tools like Magnific, and put together a workflow that keeps your aesthetic steady from the first sketch to a finished, poster‑like sci‑fi key art.
What is this course's project?
You will develop a complete visual project based on a science fiction brief, transforming references into your own coherent and reusable graphic style. You will create images using AI, establishing a personal and professional visual language for future projects.
Who is this online course for?
People who already play with generative AI and want their images to feel more intentional. Illustrators, concept artists, designers, and anyone making visual work. Students and working pros in visual fields. AI users who prefer working from briefs and want clearer artistic direction.
Requirements and materials
You don't need much background for this. Knowing the basics of AI image tools and having a general feel for composition and visual language helps. You'll need internet access, a reasonably up‑to‑date computer, and credits or a subscription for Magnific plus an image model in ChatGPT or a similar platform.
Jaime has always been fascinated by realist and hyperrealist painting. It's this aesthetic that he always seeks in his paintings and illustrations, which are full of double meanings and impossible realities. This very particular vision and a highly refined technique have earned him international recognition such as the Communication Arts Award, the American Illustration Award, and the Latin American Illustration Award, enabling him to see his work exhibited in galleries and museums around the world.
