Two-phase process: design philosophy (.md) → canvas expression (.pdf/.png).

Phase 1: Design Philosophy

Write a .md file that defines the visual language — not a layout spec, but principles for form, space, color, and composition.

Requirements

1. Name (1–2 words) — e.g., "Brutalist Joy", "Chromatic Silence".
2. Body (4–6 paragraphs) covering: space/form, color/material, scale/rhythm, composition, visual hierarchy.
3. Each aspect appears once — no redundancy.
4. Keep it context-agnostic so it applies to any canvas size or medium.

Phase 2: Canvas Creation

Express the philosophy on canvas using these rules:

Composition

• All elements must stay within canvas boundaries with ≥5% margin on each side.
• No overlapping elements unless the philosophy explicitly calls for layering.
• Color palette: ≤5 colors unless the philosophy specifies otherwise.
• Include at least one repeating pattern or systematic visual element.

Typography

• Fonts: use ./canvas-fonts directory (60+ fonts available). Use ≥2 different fonts per piece.
• Text is visual — size and placement serve composition, not readability alone.

Refinement pass

• After initial creation, do one revision pass focused on cohesion: tighten spacing, unify color usage, remove anything that doesn't serve the composition.

Output

• Deliver .pdf or .png alongside the philosophy .md.
• Multi-page: when requested, each page uses the same philosophy but a distinct expression. Bundle as one .pdf or multiple .png files.
