Abstract
This paper outlines the project, methods, and theoretical analysis undertaken to address the question: How can a curriculum be optimized to effectively prepare contemporary students for a professional career in graphic design? Can AI be used to build this course and make it effective, if restricted to its use as a sounding board and source of inspiration, allowing access and
collaboration with the world's information and innovative teaching methods?
The theoretical background reveals that the traditional lecture model is increasingly being overshadowed by holistic and hands-on approaches, and that, furthermore, it is essential to educate students about potential career paths beyond their immediate field of study. The conclusion is drawn that by integrating modern pedagogies, career development practices, and the latest technological advances in design, a curriculum can be developed that resonates with students, laying a robust foundation for their academic and professional trajectories.
This paper concludes that while there are studies that address individual components of the project outcome, this comprehensive and integrative approach, assisted with the use of artificial intelligence tools, appears to be a novel contribution to the field.
