Disclaimer.
As someone who has dedicated their life to art and creativity, I state this responsibly:
I am against the use of AI in the creative field in any form—in the creation, support, or promotion of AI media and other «AI things,» training AI models, and teaching students how to work with artificial intelligence, inclusive.
The goal of this course for students in the creative track is unclear to me and seems fundamentally detrimental.
1. Media Concept for the «Bohemian» Fashion Designer
The proposed media project focuses on a «bohemian» style that reflects creative freedom, vibrancy, and ecological consciousness. At its core, it will feature content about fashion, lifestyle, and the culture of «free spirits.» The target media will serve as a platform to enhance the designer’s personal brand recognition, build a community interested in bohemian aesthetics, and promote the values of handmade goods and sustainable fashion. Competitive analysis shows that there are few direct «niche» counterparts: major glossy magazines (Vogue, Elle, Cosmo) relate to the theme indirectly, while some eco-brands and blogs (such as Murkott) already utilize boho aesthetics. The media format could be a digital magazine.
2. Data Sources for Media
Media utilizes a combination of human, digital, and machine-generated information sources. This approach allows for the formation of a relevant cultural agenda, the discovery of new themes, and the automation of certain editorial processes.
Sources can be divided into four categories.
2.1. Primary Sources Information gathered directly from participants in the cultural and fashion industries. — Interviews with designers, artists, photographers, and stylists. — Press releases from fashion houses and independent brands. — Reports from exhibitions, shows, and cultural events. — Original photography and editorial materials. — Commentary from experts and members of the creative community.
2.2. Digital Sources Platforms where cultural events can be tracked and new topics can be found.
Instagram* — Visual trends, emerging designers, photographers, and brands
Pinterest — Visual references, aesthetic directions
TikTok — Youth culture, new trends, and subcultures
Vogue Runway — Collections, shows, and design solutions
The Business of Fashion — Fashion industry analysis
Dezeen — Architecture, design, and visual culture
*banned in the Russian Federation
2.3. Cultural and Archival Resources — Museum archives and digital collections. — Electronic libraries. — Fashion house archives. — Exhibition catalogs. — Historical journals on fashion and art. — Archival photographs and documentary materials. 2.4. Machine-Generated Resources Data that can be acquired and processed automatically: — RSS feeds from cultural and fashion publications. — APIs of social and information platforms. — Search queries and search trends. — Automated interview transcriptions. — Website traffic analytics. — Audience engagement data.
3. Data schema divided into human and machine processing
3.1. Human Data Processing Humans are responsible for processes that require subjective opinion, cultural context, and creative interpretation. Process — Human Actions Topic Selection — Choosing the most interesting and relevant events Fact-Checking — Verifying the accuracy of information Interpretation — Determining the cultural significance of an event Editing — Creating the author’s text and shaping the tone Art Direction — Selecting the visual concept for the material Interviewing — Engaging with subjects to obtain exclusive information Publication — Final approval of the material 3.2. Machine Data Processing AI is used as a tool to optimize editorial work. Process — Automated Function Information Gathering — Monitoring RSS feeds and available sources Sorting — Allocating materials to thematic sections Analysis — Identifying recurring themes and cultural trends Transcription — Converting audio and video into text Translation — Translating foreign publications Generation — Creating drafts, headlines, and descriptions Visual Search — Selecting references and creating mood boards SEO — Generating keywords and metadata Analytics — Processing traffic and engagement statistics
4. Guidelines for Automated Services in the Schema
AI Usage Guidelines
Information Accuracy AI cannot be considered an independent source of facts. All names, dates, quotes, events, and statistical data must be verified against original sources.
Authorship Control AI can generate drafts, but the final version must be approved by an editor. Publications must maintain the individual voice and editorial stance of BOHÈME.
Visual Identity When generating images, the established aesthetic of the media must be maintained. AI-generated images must not be presented as real photographs, documentary footage, or archival material.
Copyright It is prohibited to use other people’s photographs, texts, or works without the appropriate rights or permissions. For every visual material, the source and terms of use must be documented.
Transparency If AI is substantially used in the creation of text or images, this must be indicated in accordance with the editorial policy.
Confidentiality Personal data from interview subjects, unpublished materials, or confidential information must not be uploaded to third-party AI services without consent and verification of the service terms.
