Magazine Poster

Magazine Poster Skill

Produce a single-page editorial poster — looks like a tear-out from a Sunday paper. Long-form, deliberate, type-driven.

Workflow

1. 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.

1. 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").

1. 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 works callout 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.

• Footer band — rule above, three cells: handle / role / date, with a

small "PRO TIP" plate on the left containing one closing line.

1. Write a single HTML document:

• ` through `, CSS inline.
• Background uses a creamy paper tint (#f3eee2 or DS canvas) plus a

subtle paper noise (radial-gradient dots at low opacity).

• 2-column body grid via CSS Grid; min-width 1100px page.
• data-od-id on header, headline, deck, each cell, footer.

1. 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.

Output contract

Emit between `` tags:

...

One sentence before the artifact, nothing after.
