Two-phase process: design philosophy (.md) → canvas expression (.pdf/.png).
Phase 1: Design Philosophy
Write a .md file that defines the visual language — not a layout spec, but principles for form, space, color, and composition.
Requirements
- Name (1–2 words) — e.g., "Brutalist Joy", "Chromatic Silence".
- Body (4–6 paragraphs) covering: space/form, color/material, scale/rhythm, composition, visual hierarchy.
- Each aspect appears once — no redundancy.
- Keep it context-agnostic so it applies to any canvas size or medium.
Phase 2: Canvas Creation
Express the philosophy on canvas using these rules:
Composition
- All elements must stay within canvas boundaries with ≥5% margin on each side.
- No overlapping elements unless the philosophy explicitly calls for layering.
- Color palette: ≤5 colors unless the philosophy specifies otherwise.
- Include at least one repeating pattern or systematic visual element.
Typography
- Fonts: use
./canvas-fonts directory (60+ fonts available). Use ≥2 different fonts per piece.
- Text is visual — size and placement serve composition, not readability alone.
Refinement pass
- After initial creation, do one revision pass focused on cohesion: tighten spacing, unify color usage, remove anything that doesn't serve the composition.
Output
- Deliver
.pdf or .png alongside the philosophy .md.
- Multi-page: when requested, each page uses the same philosophy but a distinct expression. Bundle as one
.pdf or multiple .png files.
