Create an algorithmic philosophy (computational aesthetic movement) 2. Express it in p5.js code with parametric variation 3. Generate single-file HTML artifact with interactive controls **Design principles:** * 90% algorithmic generation, 10% essential parameters * Every algorithm should feel meticulously crafted * Create original work, never copy existing artists * Use Anthropic branding for UI (Poppins/Lora fonts, light colors) [View Algorithmic Art Documentation →](/reference/algorithmic-art) ## Canvas Design Create museum-quality visual designs with sophisticated aesthetic philosophies. **When to use:** * Designing posters or visual art pieces * Creating static designs with strong artistic direction * Building compositions that communicate through form, space, and color **Key features:** * Design philosophy framework guides creation * Output as PDF or PNG files * Minimal text, maximum visual impact * Emphasis on expert-level craftsmanship **Design approach:** 1. Create a visual philosophy (aesthetic movement) 2. Express it on canvas as art 3. Refine to museum-quality standards **Aesthetic principles:** * 90% visual design, 10% essential text * Use repeating patterns and perfect shapes * Apply sophisticated typography (never defaults like Arial) * Treat work like scientific observation: dense, systematic, layered * Every element must have breathing room and clear separation [View Canvas Design Documentation →](/reference/canvas-design) ## Frontend Design Build production-grade web interfaces that avoid generic AI aesthetics. **When to use:** * Creating web components, pages, or applications * Building landing pages or dashboards * Designing React components with high visual quality * Styling or beautifying web UI **Key features:** * Production-ready code (HTML/CSS/JS, React, Vue) * Bold aesthetic directions (minimal, maximalist, retro-futuristic, etc.) * Emphasis on distinctive, memorable design * Context-specific character **Design focus areas:** * **Typography**: Beautiful, unique font choices (avoid Inter/Roboto) * **Color & Theme**: Cohesive palettes with sharp accents * **Motion**: CSS animations and scroll-triggered effects * **Spatial Composition**: Unexpected layouts, asymmetry, overlap * **Backgrounds**: Gradients, textures, patterns, dramatic shadows **Avoid:** * Generic AI aesthetics (purple gradients, system fonts, predictable layouts) * Same design choices across generations * Convergence on common patterns [View Frontend Design Documentation →](/reference/frontend-design) ## Theme Factory Apply professional color and font themes to presentations and documents. **When to use:** * Styling slide decks with consistent themes * Applying professional color palettes * Using complementary font pairings * Creating custom themes for artifacts **Available themes:** 1. Ocean Depths - Professional maritime theme 2. Sunset Boulevard - Warm sunset colors 3. Forest Canopy - Natural earth tones 4. Modern Minimalist - Clean grayscale 5. Golden Hour - Rich autumnal palette 6. Arctic Frost - Cool winter theme 7. Desert Rose - Soft dusty tones 8. Tech Innovation - Bold tech aesthetic 9. Botanical Garden - Fresh garden colors 10. Midnight Galaxy - Dramatic cosmic tones **Process:** 1. View theme showcase to see all options 2. Select preferred theme 3. Theme is applied to deck/artifact 4. Or create custom theme based on requirements [View Theme Factory Documentation →](/reference/theme-factory) ## Design Philosophy All creative skills emphasize: * **Originality**: Create original work, never copy existing artists * **Craftsmanship**: Every detail should appear meticulously crafted * **Sophistication**: Avoid amateur or cartoony aesthetics * **Context**: Design choices should reflect the specific purpose * **Distinctiveness**: Make bold, memorable creative choices The goal is to produce work that demonstrates expert-level skill and could be presented professionally.
