SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Producing polished, design-forward visual art such as posters and static graphics typically requires professional design expertise; this Skill guides the creation of original, philosophy-driven artwork without copying existing artists. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Design Philosophy Generation: Writes a named aesthetic movement manifesto as a Markdown file that drives the visual direction. - Canvas Creation: Expresses the philosophy as a single-page, highly visual PNG or PDF composition with minimal, design-forward typography. - Bundled Font Licenses: Ships a canvas-fonts directory with SIL Open Font License font families for typographic variety. - Use Case: Ask for a poster for a jazz festival; the Skill first writes a design philosophy document, then produces a refined, museum-quality PDF poster with a subtle conceptual reference woven into the composition. ## Quick Start Create an original poster design about ocean conservation as a downloadable PDF.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a poster design with AI?

Request the poster topic and format, and the Skill first writes a design philosophy as a Markdown file, then expresses it visually as a single-page PNG or PDF. The output emphasizes composition, color, and minimal typography rather than text-heavy layouts.

What file formats does canvas design output support?

The Skill outputs Markdown files for the design philosophy and PNG or PDF files for the final artwork. Multi-page requests are bundled into a single PDF or multiple PNG files.

Can I use custom fonts in generated poster designs?

Yes, the Skill includes a canvas-fonts directory containing font families licensed under the SIL Open Font License, such as Bricolage Grotesque, Crimson Pro, and JetBrains Mono. Additional fonts can also be downloaded when a design requires them.

Does the design skill copy existing artists' styles?

No, the Skill explicitly creates original visual designs and avoids copying existing artists' work to prevent copyright violations. It generates a new aesthetic philosophy for each request instead of imitating known styles.

How do I make a multi-page art PDF?

Request additional pages when asking for the design, and the Skill creates distinct pages that follow the same design philosophy while telling a cohesive visual story. All pages are bundled into one PDF or delivered as multiple PNGs.
