To demonstrate the influence of music in design, facilitators will share the story behind an existing project directly inspired by the music industry, then attendees will split into groups to begin their own design journey. They will start with a mood board session that will set the scene for their music-inspired space. Using AI tools, each group will see their vision come to life through generated digital concepts.
