Graphic Design Education in the Era of Text-to-Image Generation

International Journal of Art and Design Education (IJADE) · Feb 2025

Key points

  1. Workshop study applying the TPACK model to Midjourney and DALL-E use in a university design course.
  2. Argues graphic design education needs new goals as students shift toward a contents creator identity.
  3. Finds craft competency goals must coexist with prompt led creation rather than be replaced.

Summary

Published in the flagship journal for art and design higher education, this study applies the TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) model to examine Midjourney and DALL-E integration in a university graphic design course. The research argues that the field requires new educational goals as students increasingly adopt a content-creator identity rather than a traditional craft identity. Crucially, it concludes that craft competency objectives must coexist with prompt-led creation rather than be superseded by it, providing a practical curriculum framing for transitioning educators.
