Lab 01: Wrap-up

Lab: Lab 01 overview

---

Pick your theme

5 minutes, end of lab

Decide, for yourself:

1. Topic, what will your quiz be about? (e.g., "90s video games", "Renaissance art", "obscure flags")
2. Visual identity:
   • Brutalist newspaper
   • 80s synthwave
   • Art deco poster
   • Terminal/hacker
   • Retro arcade
   • Swiss minimalist
   • Maximalist zine
   • … or invent your own
3. Jot both down somewhere you'll keep near your laptop for the rest of the day.

Every subsequent lab builds on this choice

Lab 02: teach Claude your identity. Lab 03: pull real content. Lab 04: make Claude write on-brand code by default. For the final project you will regroup in a team of 5 and pick a shared theme; the one you choose now is yours for Labs 02-04.
