Following the very exciting and instructive online beginner’s workshop on AI image generation this October, we are now continuing with the online course for advanced users on 9 November. In this next one, photographer Monica Menez and retouching expert Ivonne Veith will teach you advanced image generation techniques.
This course will cover advanced commands in Midjourney, such as cref, sref, and seeds, to create characters and achieve consistent character design. It will then explore advanced tools, including AI upscaling technologies and programs like Magnific AI, as well as their applications. Finally, the course will demonstrate how to refine projects using Photoshop.
Another key focus of the course is the application of AI in film production, introducing tools such as Dream Machine and Runway. Through practical examples and detailed explanations, this course helps participants expand their skills in these areas.

Future Positive is a pioneering design studio at the intersection of fashion and technology. Established in 2021 by Rotem Goeta and Nir Goeta, both fashion designers, the studio specializes in crafting immersive visual storytelling through AI and 3D design for fashion and luxury brands. Future Positive pursues innovative and sustainable approaches to reshape the future of fashion, seamlessly bridging virtual and physical worlds.
The vision of Future Positive is exemplified in the AI-generated fashion film ‘Blue’. The film was created with AI-generated videos and images, using Midjourney for AI generation, Photoshop for post-processing, Magnific for final enhancement, and Runway Gen-3 for video generation.
GoSee : What inspired the fashion film ‘Blue’? Rotem : ‘Blue’ is an AI-generated fashion film and editorial showcasing the Future Positive collection, inspired by Yves Klein’s formulation ‘International Klein Blue’ (IKB).
How does your work connect to Yves Klein’s vision? In our work, we channel the essence of Yves Klein’s vision, infusing his IKB with a fresh interpretation that resonates with the digital age.
What themes does the color blue represent in your collection? Inspired by Klein’s belief in the infinite and boundless nature of blue, we explore how this color transcends physical and psychological constraints, embodying the limitless potential of creative expression.
What role does technology play in your collection? The collection is brought to life through the collaboration between human creativity and AI, representing a modern renaissance – a fusion of art, technology, and design that reimagines the future while honoring echoes of the past.
What is the core message of ‘Blue’? Through the juxtaposition of classical architecture and abstract modernity, ‘Blue’ is a meditation on the alchemy of color and form – demonstrating how the fusion of fashion and technology becomes a vessel for rebirth, forging new realms of connection and beauty in an ever-evolving world.
Future Positive has showcased its visionary work in museums and global events such as the PhotoVogue Festival and London Fashion Week, leading to collaborations with industry leaders like SHOWStudio and i-D Magazine – pushing boundaries of creativity in the digital age through cutting-edge image and video productions.

‘Rien ne va plus?’ The creative agency MDCT AG has developed a humorous international summer campaign for FLIGHTRIGHT, Europe’s leading legal portal for air passengers – that seamlessly combines artificial intelligence and creative excellence. It is centered around the Tiny Passenger, an AI-generated brand ambassador who raises awareness about passenger rights in an emotional way.
Within only a month, MDCT took the campaign from inception to launch with the help of AI technologies such as Midjourney and Stable Diffusion. “Our AI is used as a catalyst for creativity and efficiency,” says Wolfgang Benz, CEO of MDCT. “It enables us to develop campaigns in iterations and react to changes in real time. But the AI is only part of a bigger picture – the creative vision and emotional storylines still come from the pen of our experienced experts.”
The prototype of the Tiny Passenger was created in Midjourney, which then served as the basis to specifically train the AI technology Stable Diffusion so that the Tiny Passenger could interact with a world of its own for the static assets. For the moving images, however, the Tiny Passenger was brought to life in a classic animated video by BitteschönTV, which had an enhancing effect both on its character depth and attractiveness.
The result is a brand ambassador to remember – who immediately attracts attention both in the digital space and as OOH placements at the Vienna International Airport or in the Paris metro.
Flightright CMO Katharina Zurmühlen tells us: “Special thanks go to MDCT for the concept they have developed and creatively executed to create the perfect combination of AI and real emotion, enabling all air passengers to identify with our Tiny Passenger. Together, we are conveying a strong message for the rights of air passengers!”
The success of the campaign so far speaks for itself: More than 5.1 million YouTube views, 27 million reach, and 55 million impressions within the first month alone underscore the enormous response and effectiveness. The campaign has been consistently optimized in real time to address the target audience as precisely as possible and continue to build upon its great success.
