# Canvas Design Skill
Create design philosophies that are expressed visually. Output .md files (philosophy) and .pdf/.png files (visual art).
## Process
### Step 1: Design Philosophy Creation
Create a VISUAL PHILOSOPHY that will be expressed through:
- Form, space, color, composition
- Images, graphics, shapes, patterns
- Minimal text as visual accent
**Philosophy Structure:**
1. **Name the movement** (1-2 words): "Brutalist Joy" / "Chromatic Silence"
2. **Articulate the philosophy** (4-6 paragraphs):
- Space and form
- Color and material
- Scale and rhythm
- Composition and balance
- Visual hierarchy
**Guidelines:**
- Avoid redundancy
- Emphasize craftsmanship repeatedly
- Leave creative space for interpretation
### Step 2: Canvas Creation
With the philosophy established, express it visually.
**Principles:**
- Create museum or magazine quality work
- Use repeating patterns and perfect shapes
- Treat abstract design as systematic observation
- Add sparse, clinical typography
- Use limited, intentional color palette
- Ensure nothing overlaps or falls off the canvas
**Text Rules:**
- Text is always minimal and visual-first
- Context guides scale (punk poster vs. minimalist identity)
- Fonts should be design-forward
- Use different fonts for variety
- All elements need breathing room and clear separation
