THE PRACTICAL INSTITUTE FOR CREATIVE SURVIVAL
A new monthly skills session for AIGA members dedicated to the ongoing survival of exhausted creatives.
In this class, you’ll learn how to identify where your creative process slows down and where AI can offer support that actually fits the way you work.
Instructor Sheller will outline a straightforward framework for understanding how your time is being used and which parts of your workflow could benefit from small, strategic adjustments. The session focuses on practical methods you can test without reshaping your entire practice or adopting a brand-new system.
A session for AIGA members who want their day-to-day work to run with a little more clarity and a little less strain. You’ll learn how to:
• Identify friction points in your workflows
• Test AI solutions on real problems
• Use technology to shift your energy from AI anxiety to AI integration
Use Christine's Figma Toolkit to help you identify points of friction in your process and help track your time savings: figma.com/board/U0HxURdhmyfl6VSwVfaxcK/Fixing-friction-toolkit?node-id=0-1&t=LdSQSmSmsQ3DVCsC-1
