Using "canvas-design". Create a poster about the concept of silence using brutalist design principles.

Expected outcome:

  • Design philosophy document (MD): 'Concrete Silence' exploring monumental form, bold geometry, and spatial tension
  • Visual artwork (PNG): Stark monochrome composition with massive form-defining shapes, sparse typographic elements, and deliberate negative space

Using "canvas-design". Generate a multi-page visual essay on time using chromatic language philosophy.

Expected outcome:

  • Design philosophy (MD): Color as primary information system with geometric precision
  • PDF document: 3 pages with chromatic zones creating meaning through visual calibration

What You Can Build

Concept visualization

Transform abstract brand concepts or artistic visions into sophisticated visual compositions for presentations and mood boards.

Original poster art

Generate unique poster designs, art prints, and visual statements without relying on stock imagery or templates.

Design philosophy teaching

Demonstrate how abstract aesthetic principles translate into concrete visual outcomes through guided AI collaboration.

Try These Prompts

Simple art request
Create a visual design about [TOPIC]. Use a design philosophy that emphasizes [AESTHETIC PRINCIPLE]. Output as PNG.
Multi-page document
Create a 3-page visual narrative about [THEME]. Each page should express a different facet of the same design philosophy while maintaining cohesive visual language.
Specific aesthetic
Design a poster expressing [CONCEPT] through the lens of [SPECIFIC MOVEMENT: Brutalist Joy, Chromatic Silence, Analog Meditation, or Organic Systems]. Include sparse typography using fonts from the canvas-fonts directory.
Refinement cycle
Refine the previous design to achieve museum-quality craftsmanship. Focus on precision, spacing, and color harmony. Make it appear as though crafted by a master designer with countless hours of refinement.

Best Practices

  • Provide clear conceptual themes while leaving visual interpretation to the skill
  • Request specific aesthetic movements for more controlled outcomes
  • Use refinement prompts to elevate initial outputs to professional quality

Avoid

  • Avoid requesting literal representations or detailed illustrations
  • Do not ask for text-heavy content - the skill emphasizes minimal typography
  • Avoid requesting copied artistic styles from specific artists

Frequently Asked Questions

Which AI tools support this skill?
This skill works with Claude, Codex, and Claude Code. It provides design prompts that guide the AI to create visual output files.
What file formats can this skill create?
The skill generates PNG images and PDF documents as final outputs. Design philosophies are saved as Markdown (.md) files.
Can I use the fonts commercially?
Fonts included in the canvas-fonts directory are licensed under SIL Open Font License (OFL). Check each font's license file for specific commercial usage terms.
Is my data safe when using this skill?
Yes. This is a prompt-only skill that generates visual output. No data is transmitted externally and no files are accessed beyond the skill's own directory.
Why is my output not appearing as expected?
The skill emphasizes visual minimalism. Ensure your prompts focus on abstract concepts rather than literal descriptions. Use refinement prompts to improve results.
How does this compare to image generation tools?
Unlike pixel-based image generators, this skill creates structured vector-based designs with precise typography, composition control, and multi-page document support.
