Step 1: Create Visual Philosophy
Write a 4-6 paragraph manifesto as a .md file that defines your design approach
Step 2: Express on Canvas
Transform the philosophy into visual art (.pdf or .png file)
Information lives in design, not paragraphs.
Text should be minimal and integrated as a visual element, never explanatory blocks.
- Create meticulously crafted work appearing to take "countless hours"
- Produce output by someone "at the absolute top of their field"
- Avoid redundancy in describing design aspects
- Leave creative interpretive space for execution
- Embed subtle conceptual references that feel intuitive
Focus your manifesto on:
- Form & Space - Layout, composition, negative space
- Color - Palettes, harmony, contrast
- Composition - Balance, hierarchy, flow
- Visual Elements - Images, graphics, shapes, patterns
- Spatial Communication - How elements interact and guide the eye
- Single page design (or multi-page variations)
- Museum or magazine quality output
- Limited, intentional color palettes
- Minimal typography (usually thin fonts)
- Perfect margins with no overlapping elements
- Expert-level craftsmanship with painstaking attention to detail
Create variations that:
- Tell a cohesive story
- Remain distinctly different compositions
- Maintain consistent design philosophy
- Demonstrate conceptual evolution
- Start with a strong philosophical foundation
- Let design communicate, not text
- Embrace negative space
- Use typography sparingly and intentionally
- Create work that feels professionally crafted
- Avoid explanatory text blocks
