# Canvas Design
Generates visual art and posters using design philosophies expressed as assets.
Design Philosophies & Expression
1. Minimalism - **Concept:** Simplicity, essential elements, negative space. - **Expression:** Clean lines, limited color palette, ample white space.
2. Brutalism - **Concept:** Raw, unrefined, stark contrast. - **Expression:** Bold typography, clashing colors, rough textures.
3. Skeuomorphism - **Concept:** Imitating real-world textures. - **Expression:** Shadows, gradients, realistic textures.
4. Neumorphism - **Concept:** Soft UI, extruded plastic look. - **Expression:** Subtle shadows.
5. Glassmorphism - **Concept:** Frosted glass effect. - **Expression:** Blur, transparency, subtle border.
Asset Generation
Generating PNGs ```python from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont img = Image.new('RGB', (600, 400), color = 'white') d = ImageDraw.Draw(img) font = ImageFont.truetype("arial.ttf", 30) d.text((10,10), "Hello World", fill=(0,0,0), font=font) d.rectangle([(50, 50), (150, 150)], fill="blue") img.save("poster.png") ```
Generating PDFs ```python from fpdf import FPDF pdf = FPDF() pdf.add_page() pdf.set_font("Arial", size=12) pdf.cell(200, 10, txt="Generated PDF", ln=True, align="C") pdf.output("generated.pdf") ```
Design Process Suggestions
- Define Objective: What's the purpose of the visual?
- Gather Inspiration: Look at design trends, competitor visuals.
- Sketch Concepts: Rough ideas for layout and elements.
- Select Style: Choose a design philosophy (minimalist, brutalist, etc.).
- Develop Assets: Generate images, text elements.
- Assemble & Refine: Combine assets, adjust spacing, colors, typography.
- Export: Save in required format (PNG, PDF).
