Objective
Build a small coherent series
Expected deliverables
Artwork or collectionGenerative scriptTrait or rule documentationMetadata setEdition planArtist statementRights and collaboration agreement
Recommended workflow
- Build a small coherent series
- Document concept, process, code or production, rights, and preservation
- Present the work without price promises
- Review the result against the rubric, then package it as a case study.
Constraints and safety
- Use only public sources or clearly simulated data.
- Never include seed phrases, private keys, or wallet secrets.
- Redact private user, company, security, legal, or compensation information.
- State every assumption you make.
Tools in practice
- Creative coding tools
- Build and test generative rules, seeds, traits, rendering behaviour, and reproducible outputs.
- design or 3D software
- Develop the visual assets, scenes, textures, or models used by the artwork or generative system.
- smart contract or mint platforms
- Test mint behaviour, supply, metadata, permissions, pricing, and collector flow before release.
- IPFS or storage tools
- Pin and verify assets and metadata, document dependencies, and reduce the risk of broken or mutable collection references.
- portfolio and documentation tools
- Draft, review, and maintain artwork or collection and generative script, with owners, source links, and change history.
What a strong submission shows
- A coherent body of work
- A 20-piece generative study
- A script and output documentation
- A commission or collaboration case study
Weak submission patterns
- A trait mashup with no concept
- Sales volume presented as artistic proof
- Copied aesthetics
- Unexplained reliance on platform defaults
Review rubric
- Accuracy of claims and sources
- Relevance to the target role
- Decision quality and trade-offs
- Completeness of the deliverable
- Clarity of communication
- Honest limitations and next steps
Present it as a case study
- Explain the problem, sources, decisions, ownership, constraints, output, review, and what you would change.
- Show the final artifact before the process notes.
- State what you owned and what belonged to other people.
- Label the work as simulated, and keep any real contribution clearly separate.
Interview questions this project helps you answer
How do the generative rules express the concept?
What happens to the work if the platform or metadata host disappears?
How do you define rights across artist, studio, brand, and collector?
