Make an AI poster (and iterate)

Design a poster for a fictional campus event using an AI image tool. The skill isn’t one prompt — it’s iterating until it looks right.

The work brief

  1. 01Invent an event (name, vibe, audience).
  2. 02Generate a first poster with an AI image tool.
  3. 03Iterate at least three times, changing one thing each round.
  4. 04Upload your best poster and the prompts you used.

What you’ll produce

3 deliverables

Submission standard

Upload your final poster image and describe how you got there. Include a screenshot from inside the image tool showing your multiple attempts, with the interface and your account visible.

  • Your final poster

    Final poster must legibly show YOUR invented event name and details so it can't be a generic one-shot image.

    Image uploadRequired
  • The prompts you used across iterations (worst → best)

    Written responseRequired
  • What you changed each round and why

    Written responseRequired

You’ll complete these inside your private workspace.

What you must submit as proof

This brief requires evidence an AI can’t fabricate.

  • Screenshot of your attempts inside the image tool

    One screenshot/contact-sheet from inside the tool showing your multiple generations, with the tool interface and your account visible.

    Image uploadRequired

Submissions without this evidence cannot be submitted.

Protect other people in your proof. Blur faces, names, phone numbers and email addresses before you upload, and refer to anyone you worked with by role or number ("Listener 1", "the stall owner"). Your proof is only ever used to check your work — it is never published, never appears on your certificate, and is never shown in your public portfolio.

How your work is evaluated

The passing benchmark is 70/100.

Visual craft

33%

The poster is clear, legible, and on-brief.

Iteration evidence

33%

Shows a real prompt-by-prompt progression.

First-party iteration proof

33%

Auto-fail if there is no in-tool screenshot of real attempts, only a single finished image, or the attempts look generic/unrelated to the stated prompts.

How we grade your AI usage

30% of your score

Using AI is the point — it’s the skill this certificate proves. You’ll answer three short questions about how you used it: what you asked, what was wrong with its first answer, and what you changed. Specific, honest answers score high. “I pasted the brief and submitted the answer” scores near zero.
