SUMMARY:UiLab's Future Tech Open House
DESCRIPTION:This Month’s Focus: Modernise Your Brand and Website – Walk out with a new look! \nYour logo and your website are the first thing anyone judges you on\, and for most businesses they haven’t been touched in years. \nIn this hands-on session we’ll start by rebuilding one brand together\, step by step\, so nobody gets left behind. Then you turn the same tools on your own work: your colours\, your images\, your homepage. \nIf you came along to our 18 August or 27 August Open Houses\, this is the natural next step\, now you make it look like it belongs to you. \nWe’ll look at Claude Design\, Leonardo AI and Midjourney\, and be honest about what each one costs and which is worth paying for. You’ll also leave better at briefing a designer\, because knowing what you want is half of what you’re paying them for. \nEverything you make is yours! We finish with time set aside to save and export your files\, so you walk out with the work\, not just the memory of it. \n  \nWhat you’ll walk away with: \n\nA refreshed colour palette and font pairing\nHero images and brand visuals you can use straight away\nA homepage layout template and the prompts to keep going on your own\nA better sense of what to look for – and ask for – when briefing a designer\n\n  \nWhat to bring: \n\nA laptop\nYour current website or socials\nA free Claude.ai account\, if you can set one up beforehand – it takes two minutes (claude.ai)\n\n  \nWho Is This For? \n\nBusiness owners ready to give their brand a refresh\nMarketing and comms people looking for a faster\, cheaper way to produce brand visuals\nAnyone who owns a website or a brand at work\nNo design experience needed\, no AI experience needed\n\nIt’s practical\, hands-on\, and open to all.
