description	Visual philosophy and design principles for creating impactful visual content.

FORGE Canvas Design Skill

Use this skill to establish a strong visual philosophy before creating visual artifacts, posters, or UI layouts.

Visual Philosophy Creation

• Deduce the Conceptual Seed: What is the core idea? (e.g., "The Precision of a Swiss Watch", "The Organic Flow of Water").
• Establish Principles: define constraints (e.g., "Only 3 colors", "Strict Grid", "Asymmetric Balance").
• Deduce Style: Use specific visual descriptors (e.g., Brutalist, Geometric, Soft Minimalism).

Essential Principles

• Contrast: Use size, color, and weight to create impact.
• Hierarchy: Guide the viewer's eye to the most important element first.
• Negative Space: Give your design room to breathe. Don't crowd the canvas.
• Intentionality: Every element must have a purpose. If it doesn't add value, remove it.

Execution

Once the philosophy is established, apply it consistently across all components of the artifact.
