About this capability
An editorial-style poster — newsprint paper, dateline, oversized serif headline with a struck-through word and italic accent, a 2-column body block, and 6 numbered sections with annotated pull-quote captions. Reads like a Sunday-paper full-page essay or a thoughtful launch poster. Use when the brief
What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by nexu-io/open-design in design-templates/magazine-poster/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
Produce a single-page editorial poster — looks like a tear-out from a Sunday paper. Long-form, deliberate, type-driven.
Workflow
- Read the active DESIGN.md (injected above). Pick the heaviest serif token in the DS for the headline, the body serif for the columns, and a typewriter / mono token for the section eyebrows and annotations.
- Pick the topic from the brief. Write a real, opinionated headline — one with a struck-through word ("a designer", "the template hunt") and an italic accent on a key noun ("first draft", "mood", "specifics").
- Layout, in order:
- Top rule — thin black hairline + a dateline ("01 · A · YOUR LAB" left, "DD · MMM · YYYY" right). Light typewriter font.
- Top eyebrow — a single mono tag like "POSTED TODAY".
- Headline — 2–3 lines, oversized serif. One word struck through
with
text-decoration: line-through; text-decoration-thickness: 2px. One word italic, in accent color. - Deck — a 1–2 sentence subhead in italic serif at ~60% size of
the headline, with a dash separator and a
— what workscallout fragment in accent. - Accent rule — short horizontal accent-colored bar (~80px).
- Body grid — six numbered cells in a 2×3 (or 3×2) grid. Each cell:
- eyebrow (
01 · SHIP FAST) in mono, accent color. - bold serif sub-headline.
- 2–3 sentence body in body serif.
- one annotated callout — a quoted "use this prompt" line on a tinted background block, set in mono.
- eyebrow (
- Footer band — rule above, three cells: handle / role / date, with a small "PRO TIP" plate on the left containing one closing line.
- Write a single HTML document:
<!doctype html>through</html>, CSS inline.- Background uses a creamy paper tint (
#f3eee2or DS canvas) plus a subtle paper noise (radial-gradientdots at low opacity). - 2-column body grid via CSS Grid; min-width 1100px page.
data-od-idon header, headline, deck, each cell, footer.
- Self-check:
- Type hierarchy is unmistakable — headline owns the page.
- Strikethrough + italic accent both appear, exactly once each.
- Body reads like real opinion, not lorem ipsum.
- Looks intentional at 1280–1440px wide.
