Available Design Styles:

  1. Minimalist Style
    Adopt a minimalist design that follows the “less is more” principle. Use ample white space to create breathing room and retain only the most essential elements. Limit the color scheme to 2–3 neutral tones, primarily a white background with black or dark gray text. Ensure pixel-perfect typography using a carefully designed grid system and the golden ratio. Choose sans-serif fonts such as Helvetica or Noto Sans, and use variations in weight to establish hierarchy. Decorative elements should be nearly non-existent—only extremely thin dividers and subtle shadows. The overall design should exude restraint, elegance, and timeless beauty, making the content the focal point. (Refer to Dieter Rams’ design principles and MUJI’s product aesthetics.)
  2. Bold Modern Style
    Employ a bold modern design that breaks traditional typographic rules to create a strong visual impact. Use vibrant contrasting colors like neon pink, electric blue, and bright yellow, with backgrounds that can incorporate dark or vivid color blocks. Typography should be asymmetric and dynamic, with headlines no smaller than 60px—using extra-bold or condensed fonts, even allowing overlapping or overflowing text. Incorporate geometric shapes with sharp edges and irregular cropping effects. Achieve hierarchy through extreme contrasts in size, color, and placement. The overall design should be energetic and tension-filled, serving as a visual manifesto (inspired by Wired magazine and Pentagram).
  3. Elegant Vintage Style
    Create an elegant vintage design that revives the refined aesthetics of early 20th-century print. Use a background with a beige or light yellow paper texture, paired with old-fashioned print colors like deep brown or burgundy. Employ serif fonts such as Baskerville or Noto Serif, and use decorative fonts for headlines. The layout should be symmetrical and dignified, following traditional book design principles. Incorporate ornate borders, classic dividers, and corner embellishments, with subtle aging effects like paper textures and gentle stains. Apply vintage filters to images to achieve a faded look. The overall design should exude sophistication, maturity, and timeless elegance (inspired by The New Yorker and vintage French fashion magazines).
  4. Futuristic Tech Style
    Use a futuristic tech design that evokes a highly advanced digital interface aesthetic. The background must be deep blue or pure black, accented with neon blue, electronic purple, or other high-saturation fluorescent colors. Typography should mimic high-tech displays with monospaced fonts like Space Mono, and include data visualization elements such as charts, grids, or code snippets. Add decorative tech lines, HUD-style frames, and holographic effects. Incorporate dynamic elements like scanning lines, flowing data, and subtle flickers. Use semi-transparent overlays and blur effects to create depth. The overall design should feel futuristic, high-tech, and information-dense—as if from a decades-ahead interface (inspired by Blade Runner 2049 and Ghost in the Shell).
  5. Scandinavian Style
    Embrace a Scandinavian design that reflects Nordic simplicity and functional beauty. Use a pure white background combined with specific Nordic hues like pale blue, light gray, natural wood tones, and soft pink. The typography should be extremely restrained and orderly, with plenty of white space—but with a warm touch. Opt for geometric sans-serif fonts such as Futura or Circular with light font weights. Decorative elements should be few but carefully chosen, using simple geometric patterns like triangles and lines (drawing on constructivist principles). Images should appear bright, clean, and natural. The overall design should evoke the refreshing, practical, and warm qualities of Nordic design, balancing aesthetics with functionality (inspired by magazines like Kinfolk and Danish design brand HAY).
  6. Art Deco Style
    Recreate the opulence and geometric beauty of the 1920s–30s with an Art Deco design. Use a black and true metallic gold (#D4AF37) color scheme (not yellow). Ensure strict symmetry in typography, using highly decorative fonts with strong geometric features (such as Broadway or modern variants). Key decorative elements include fan-shaped radiating patterns, zigzag lines, geometric motifs, and symmetrical ornamentation. Borders should be ornate and structured with exquisitely treated corners. Enhance the luxurious feel with simulated gold leaf and marble textures. The overall design should be bold, sumptuous, and evocative of the Jazz Age in New York or Paris (inspired by the Chrysler Building and The Great Gatsby posters).
  7. Japanese Minimalism Style
    Reflect the Wabi-Sabi philosophy—embracing imperfection, transience, and incompleteness—with a Japanese minimalist design. Use a highly restrained color palette of white, gray, black, and light ink tones. Emphasize “Ma” (negative space), with at least 70% of the design left blank to create tranquility. The layout may adopt an asymmetric, vertical composition that echoes traditional Japanese writing. Use extremely simple, light-stroked fonts. Decorative elements are nearly absent, though a single ink blot, stamp, or line can serve as an accent. The overall design should evoke deep calm, refinement, and Zen-like simplicity (inspired by Kenya Hara’s MUJI design and traditional Japanese ink aesthetics).
  8. Postmodern Deconstruction Style
    Break all traditional design rules and grid systems with a postmodern deconstruction style. Typography should be intentionally irregular and chaotic, using multiple fonts, sizes, and orientations—allowing text to overlap, slant, or be fragmented. Employ clashing color combinations that defy traditional harmony. Include random geometric shapes, incomplete forms, and deliberately distorted elements. Create hierarchy through stark contrasts amid apparent chaos, using fragmented imagery and collage effects. Decorative elements should seem random yet be carefully arranged, such as hand-drawn lines, graffiti, or photocopier error effects. The overall design should challenge visual conventions and present a controlled chaos aesthetic (inspired by David Carson’s Ray Gun and Wolfgang Weingart’s experimental typography).
  9. Punk Style
    Channel the DIY spirit and countercultural vibe with a punk design. Use raw, handmade visual effects like cut-and-paste newspaper clippings, photocopier distortions, and tape marks. Colors should be highly contrasting and unrefined—primarily black, white, and red, with touches of fluorescent accents. Typography should be rough and irregular, using handwritten, spray-painted, or collage-style fonts with fragmented or obscured text. Incorporate decorative elements such as safety pins, tape, stains, and ripped effects. Images should be gritty and high contrast, emulating poor-quality printing. Random elements like graffiti, X-marks, and exclamation points are encouraged. The overall design should be raw, energetic, and reminiscent of underground flyers from 1970s–80s London or New York (inspired by Sex Pistols album covers and early punk magazines).
  10. British Rock Style
    Fuse traditional British elements with rebellious rock aesthetics in a British rock design. Use color schemes inspired by the Union Jack (red, white, blue) or vintage brown tones, possibly with aged effects. Blend classic and modern typography by combining serif and handwritten fonts; headlines may adopt Gothic or Victorian styles. Decorative elements can include modern reinterpretations of British symbols like abstract Union Jack patterns, royal crests, or iconic London landmarks. Apply vintage filters to images to evoke an old film effect. Add musical accents such as records, guitars, or musical notes. The overall design should embody a unique British style that merges elegance with rebellion (inspired by Oasis, The Beatles, and NME magazine).
  11. Black Metal Style
    Create an extreme, dark design with a black metal style that conveys mysticism. Use a background of pure black or very dark gray to establish an oppressive atmosphere. Choose archaic, hard-to-read Gothic or sharply geometric fonts, with text possibly distorted or intermingled with symbols. Include decorative elements like mystical symbols, inverted pentagrams, ancient runes, and occult motifs. Images should be highly contrasted and monochromatic, with added noise and scratch effects to enhance a raw feel. Use medieval or occult geometric patterns for borders and add subtle flickering effects reminiscent of candlelight. The overall design should evoke mystery, coldness, and ritualistic ambiance (inspired by Norwegian black metal aesthetics and medieval grimoires).
  12. Memphis Design
    Embrace the avant-garde aesthetics of the 1980s Italian Memphis Group. Use bold and discordant color combinations such as bright pink, teal, bright yellow, and orange. Rely on geometric shapes—irregular graphics, zigzag lines, wavy patterns, and colorful grids. Typography should be playful and eclectic, using strong geometric sans-serif fonts with possible shadow or 3D effects. Incorporate decorative elements like the signature Memphis stripes, dots, Z-shapes, and random color blocks. The overall design should be exaggerated, lively, and non-traditional, evoking futuristic imaginations from the 1980s (inspired by Ettore Sottsass and the visual style of Saving Private Ryan’s opening sequence).
  13. Cyberpunk Style
    Adopt a cyberpunk design that captures the “high-tech, low-life” dystopian aesthetic. Use a dark background (black or deep blue) accented with neon colors—fluorescent pink, electric blue, and acid green—to create an urban nightscape. Typography should mimic glitch effects using pixelated or futuristic monospaced fonts with displaced characters, scanning lines, and digital noise. Integrate decorative elements such as tech interfaces, flowing data streams, circuit board patterns, and holographic projections. Incorporate glitch art effects like RGB separation, data corruption, and image tearing. Images should be high contrast with neon light effects simulating rainy, neon-lit streets. The overall design should mix futuristic and retro-tech elements to evoke a decaying digital atmosphere (inspired by Blade Runner, Neuromancer, and Cyberpunk 2077).
  14. Pop Art Style
    Recreate the bold aesthetics of the 1960s pop art movement. Use bright primary colors (red, yellow, blue) with black outlines and flat, non-gradient fills. Typography should be dramatic and comic-like, with headlines in comic-style fonts and exaggerated exclamations placed in speech bubbles. Apply halftone effects to images to mimic printing by reducing them to dots and color blocks. Decorative elements should include comic-style lines, explosive shapes, and onomatopoeic words. Repeating patterns and grid layouts can enhance visual impact. The overall design should be striking, direct, and rich in pop culture references (inspired by Roy Lichtenstein and classic comic books).
  15. Deconstructed Swiss Style
    Use a deconstructed version of the Swiss International Style by intentionally breaking and reassembling a strict grid. Begin with the classic Swiss grid system, then deliberately break or twist it—allowing text to cross columns, overlap, or be fragmented. Maintain a restrained color palette of black and white, with one or two bright primary accents. Use sans-serif geometric fonts like Helvetica or Akzidenz-Grotesk, but experiment with extreme variations in weight, spacing, and size to create tension. Images should be high contrast and may be deconstructed or reassembled. Decorative elements are minimal—perhaps limited to disrupted grid lines and reference markers. The overall design should blend rationality with rebellion, as if challenging and reinterpreting classic Swiss design (inspired by Wolfgang Weingart and April Greiman).
  16. Vaporwave Aesthetics
    Embrace vaporwave aesthetics that capture nostalgic futurism from internet subcultures. Use a specific gradient combination—primarily pastel purple to cyan—to evoke twilight or neon effects. Mix English with Japanese/Chinese characters in the typography, using 80s–90s style serif or early digital fonts enhanced with shadows and glow effects. Key decorative elements must include at least three of the following: Roman columns, palm trees, checkered floors, early 3D renders, classical sculptures, sunsets, or retro computer interfaces. The background may feature grid lines or a starry sky. Apply VHS effects, scanning lines, and slight distortions to images. The overall design should evoke a surreal, dreamlike, and nostalgic digital aesthetic (inspired by the Floral Shoppe album cover and postmodern reinterpretations of Windows 95 elements).
  17. Neo-Expressionism Style
    Channel the raw energy and emotional expression of the 1980s art movement with a neo-expressionist design. Use intense, clashing colors and raw, unharmonized combinations, potentially incorporating splatter and smear effects. Typography should be expressive and irregular, employing handwritten or brush-style fonts, with text sometimes partially obscured or merging with the background. Bold, dynamic lines that showcase visible brush strokes and a handcrafted feel are essential. Images may incorporate graffiti, scratches, or re-drawn effects. Decorative elements should feel casual yet symbolic—incorporating primitive symbols, mask motifs, or abstract figures. The overall design should radiate strong emotional tension and raw energy (inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat and Georg Baselitz).
  18. Extreme Minimalism
    Push the “less is more” concept to its limits with extreme minimalism. White space must occupy at least 90% of the design area to create an overwhelming sense of emptiness. Restrict colors to black, white, and gray, with only a single, extremely subtle accent. Typography should be pared down to the essentials, with each element positioned pixel-perfect using ultra-thin sans-serif fonts at very small but legible sizes. Eliminate all decorative elements except for the most minimal dividers or geometric dots. If images are necessary, simplify them to basic outlines or lines. The overall design should evoke an almost Zen-like purity and restraint (inspired by John Pawson and Kenya Hara).
  19. Neo-Futurism Style
    Adopt a neo-futurist design that embodies cutting-edge aesthetics from contemporary architecture and product design. Emphasize streamlined curves and organic geometric shapes, avoiding rigid angles and static forms. Use metallic tones—silver, titanium white, and chrome yellow—paired with one or two high-saturation accent colors. Material textures should simulate high-tech materials like brushed metal, carbon fiber, and frosted glass. Typography should be dynamic and fluid, with modern sans-serif fonts arranged along curves or radiating outward. Decorative elements can include generative patterns, fluid dynamic shapes, and biomimetic structures. The overall design should exude advanced technological sophistication and movement (inspired by Zaha Hadid’s architecture, the Tesla Cybertruck, and Apple’s design language).
  20. Surrealist Digital Collage Style
    Create a surrealist digital collage that tells a dreamlike visual narrative. Combine unrelated elements—such as classical sculptures with modern gadgets or natural elements with geometric forms—to forge unexpected connections. Deliberately offset proportions to create visual tension. Use dreamlike color combinations, such as warm sunset tones or cool moonlit hues with slight tints. Integrate typography into the collage by having text wrap around objects, traverse images, or form part of the composition. Decorative elements should include surreal motifs like floating objects, impossible architectures, or distorted figures. Subtle shadows and lighting effects can enhance depth. The overall design should straddle the line between reality and dream, sparking the viewer’s imagination (inspired by René Magritte and contemporary digital artists like Justin Peters).
  21. Neo-Baroque Digital Style
    Reinterpret 17th-century Baroque opulence in digital form with a neo-baroque design. Ornamentation is paramount—use lavish digital Baroque patterns, scrolls, and embossed effects with intricate details in every corner. Employ luxurious, dramatic colors such as gold, deep red, royal blue, and black with metallic sheens and gradients. Typography should be ornate and layered, using decorative serif fonts with elaborate initials. Frame images with intricate decorative borders. Create strong light and shadow contrasts reminiscent of Baroque paintings. The overall design should be extremely opulent, complex, and theatrical, as if a digital Versailles (inspired by Baroque masters like Rubens and modern luxury brands).
  22. Liquid Digital Morphism Style
    Combine fluid dynamics with digital art in a liquid digital morphism style. The background must feature high-end fluid gradients (e.g., a transition from violet to deep blue) with semi-transparent liquid bubbles or wave forms. Typography should have a flowing feel—text following liquid paths or partially embraced by liquid effects. Decorative elements should mimic physical liquid properties like droplets, ripples, or splashes. Use dreamy liquid gradients (from neon purple to electronic blue) and incorporate subtle dynamic transitions where elements merge like fluid, with slight text undulations. Images should include liquid borders or fluid masks. The overall design should evoke a surreal, futuristic, fluid visual experience (inspired by Björk’s digital album art and Apple’s fluid animations).
  23. Hypersensory Minimalism Style
    Push minimalism to a sensory extreme with hypersensory minimalism. At first glance, the design appears extremely minimal; however, subtle textures, tactile suggestions, and dynamic feedback create a deep sensory experience. Use a pure white or very light gray background with almost imperceptible texture variations that reveal themselves only under changing light or viewing angles. Typography must be pixel-perfect with ultra-thin sans-serif fonts, and spacing/line-height should adhere to strict mathematical ratios. Use nearly identical color tones with only slight variations to create nuanced layers. Decorative elements should be extremely minimal and subtle—nearly invisible lines or dots. Incorporate subtle interactive responses, such as slight transparency changes on hover or very gradual color transitions. The overall design should offer a “quiet yet profound” visual experience (inspired by Tadao Ando and Apple’s Jonathan Ive).
  24. Neo-Expressionist Data Visualization Style
    Merge abstract expressionism with data visualization in a neo-expressionist design. Use seemingly random brush strokes, splashes, and smudges that are actually driven by precise data. The background should be white or light, with subtle textures and abstract strokes. Integrate typography into the visualization so that text becomes part of the data representation—using varying weights and sizes to depict numerical differences. Employ vivid, emotive colors (like blue, red, and yellow) where each hue corresponds to specific data categories. Chart elements (bars, lines, dots) should appear hand-drawn with visible brush strokes and irregular edges. The overall design should communicate clear data through an abstract, chaotic presentation (inspired by Giorgia Lupi’s “data humanism” and experimental Bloomberg Businessweek layouts).
  25. Victorian Style
    Emulate the lavish print aesthetics of 19th-century British Victorian design. Use a beige or light yellow paper-textured background, combined with traditional print tones such as brown, deep red, and gold. Ornate borders are essential—apply intricate decorative patterns and scroll motifs around the design, with refined corner embellishments. Typography should be symmetrical and dignified, using ornate serif or Gothic fonts for headlines and decorative initials. Incorporate traditional dividers, flourishes, and Victorian symbols. Frame images with delicate, decorative borders (using oval or square frames with intricate patterns). Colors should mimic old printing techniques with subtle aging and faded textures. Follow traditional book layout principles (e.g., indented first lines, italicized quotations with decorative quotation marks). The overall design should exude elegance, opulence, and historical depth (inspired by William Morris and Punch magazine).
  26. Bauhaus Style
    Embrace the functional aesthetics of early 20th-century German Bauhaus. Use basic geometric shapes (squares, circles, triangles) as the core design elements, maintaining their purity. Limit colors to the primary palette—red, yellow, blue—plus black, white, and gray without gradients. Typography should be clear and rational, using sans-serif fonts like Futura or Helvetica arranged on a strict grid emphasizing horizontal and vertical lines. Headlines should be bold and direct (possibly in all caps). Decorative elements should be purely functional with no ornamental patterns. Image processing should be simple and geometric, using high-contrast photography or simplified graphics. The design must reflect “form follows function” (inspired by László Moholy-Nagy and Herbert Bayer).
  27. Constructivism Style
    Channel the revolutionary aesthetics of early 20th-century Russian avant-garde with a constructivist design. Use bold geometric shapes and diagonal elements to create dynamic tension, emphasizing structure and composition. Limit colors primarily to red and black, with minimal white or gray accents to reflect revolutionary spirit. Typography should be integral to the design—not just a content container—using varied sizes, weights, and orientations to create visual hierarchy. Headlines should be bold, possibly arranged diagonally or split over multiple lines. Use geometric shapes (triangles, circles, lines, diagonals) that overlap and interweave. Process photos with sharp contrast and geometric treatment, possibly via photo montage. The overall layout should be asymmetrical and dynamic, suggesting interplay of forces, with possible industrial elements (like gears or abstract machinery) (inspired by Alexander Rodchenko and El Lissitzky).
  28. Memphis Design (Alternate)
    Again, adopt a Memphis design that re-creates the avant-garde aesthetics of the 1980s Italian Memphis Group. Use bold, discordant color combinations—bright pink, teal, bright yellow, and orange—to create deliberate visual conflict. Emphasize irregular geometric shapes (zigzag, wavy lines, colorful grids) that defy traditional order. Focus on texture contrasts by mixing dot patterns, stripes, and geometric grids. Typography should be playful and eclectic, with possible shadow or 3D effects. Incorporate signature decorative elements such as colorful stripes, dots, Z-shapes, and arbitrarily placed color blocks. Break away from traditional grid systems, allowing elements to float freely in a seemingly random layout. Optionally, include 1980s pop culture elements like neon signs, televisions, or cassette tape motifs. The overall design should be exaggerated, lively, and anti-functional (inspired by Ettore Sottsass and early MTV aesthetics).
  29. German Expressionism Style
    Adopt a German expressionist design that embodies the intense emotional expression of early 20th-century German Expressionism. Use dark tones—deep blue, black, or dark red—to create a dramatic atmosphere. Employ strong contrasts of light and dark and use distorted, dynamic forms; lines should be sharp and energetic, conveying internal emotion externally. Typography should be irregular and expressive, with text that appears slanted or unstable; headlines may use rough, sharp Gothic or handwritten fonts. Choose intense, symbolic colors (favoring black, dark red, yellow, deep green) in high contrast. Process images with woodcut effects to highlight rough lines and exaggerated contrasts. Use long, sharp shadows to create tension and unease. Add symbolic elements such as spires, distorted silhouettes, or jagged mountain motifs. The overall design should convey powerful emotional tension and psychological depth (inspired by The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff).

Content to Process

  • Theme Content: October 2024
    I’m usually reluctant to make predictions about technology, but I feel fairly confident about this one: in a couple decades there won’t be many people who can write.
    One of the strangest things you learn if you’re a writer is how many people have trouble writing. Doctors know how many people have a mole they’re worried about; people who are good at setting up computers know how many people aren’t; writers know how many people need help writing.
    The reason so many people have trouble writing is that it’s fundamentally difficult. To write well you have to think clearly, and thinking clearly is hard.
    And yet writing pervades many jobs, and the more prestigious the job, the more writing it tends to require.
    These two powerful opposing forces—the pervasive expectation of writing and the irreducible difficulty of doing it—create enormous pressure. This is why eminent professors often turn out to have resorted to plagiarism. The most striking thing to me about these cases is the pettiness of the thefts. The stuff they steal is usually the most mundane boilerplate—the sort of thing that anyone who was even halfway decent at writing could turn out with no effort at all. Which means they’re not even halfway decent at writing.
    Till recently there was no convenient escape valve for the pressure created by these opposing forces. You could pay someone to write for you, like JFK, or plagiarize, like MLK, but if you couldn’t buy or steal words, you had to write them yourself. And as a result nearly everyone who was expected to write had to learn how.
    Not anymore. AI has blown this world open. Almost all pressure to write has dissipated. You can have AI do it for you, both in school and at work.
    The result will be a world divided into writes and write-nots. There will still be some people who can write. Some of us like it. But the middle ground between those who are good at writing and those who can’t write at all will disappear. Instead of good writers, …
