Canvas Design works like a design director: it confirms style, layout, and information hierarchy before outputting actionable design instructions. Here's a complete workflow using a real event poster request.
Use Cases
- Offline event/meetup promotional posters
- Course or livestream covers
- Social media promotional images
What You Need to Prepare
- Event theme and time
- One-line selling point
- Visual keywords (style/color/texture)
- Target dimensions (e.g., 1080x1920)
Step 1: Copy the Skill Instructions
Go to the Canvas Design detail page on AllSkills.cn, click copy, and paste the complete Skill instructions into Claude's chat.
Step 2: Add Your Specific Requirements
Example request (feel free to modify):
Please generate a design brief for a 1080x1920 event poster:
- Event name: AI Product Growth Meetup
- Date & location: Jan 18 · Shenzhen
- One-line pitch: From 0 to 1 in AI product growth
- Style keywords: minimal, metallic, tech, blue-green gradient
- Visual elements: abstract geometry + light beams
- Output: layout structure, color scheme, font combinations, hierarchy
Step 3: Get Actionable Design Specs
Canvas Design will output:
- Visual structure (background, main element, supporting elements)
- Color scheme and gradient suggestions
- Font combinations (title/body/emphasis)
- Layout hierarchy and alignment rules
Step 4: Execute
Take the output to Figma, Canva, or Photoshop. Suggest 2-3 rounds of refinement:
- Adjust title weight
- Enhance contrast
- Optimize reading flow
FAQ
- No design software? Canva works too—focus on following the layout and hierarchy.
- Not polished enough? Improve background layers and shadow contrast, avoid too many colors.
Summary
Canvas Design is great for generating design briefs. Write clear requirements, and it delivers professional solutions that save you hours of brainstorming.
