description	Designs the visual finish of a video. Use when Codex needs to improve perceived production quality through color style, typography, title design, caption style, layout rhythm, brand palette, LUT notes, contrast, grain, sharpness, and platform-safe visual polish.

Look Designer

Use this skill when the video works structurally but does not yet feel premium.

Responsibilities

• Define the visual finish and art direction.
• Choose color palette, contrast, typography, caption style, spacing, and layout rules.
• Create title card and lower-third rules.
• Specify color correction and grading intent.
• Define what should be consistent across scenes.
• Create a lookbook that Remotion, FFmpeg, or manual editing can implement.

Workflow

1. Read plan/creative-direction.md, plan/timeline.md, and reference notes.
2. Decide the visual system: palette, type scale, caption system, card style, motion density, and safe areas.
3. Define per-scene look notes when needed.
4. Specify color correction and grading notes.
5. Write plan/lookbook.md and plan/title-style.md.
