Graphic Design

What This Skill Does

The Graphic Design skill transforms OpenClaw into a versatile design consultant capable of bridging the gap between amateur enthusiasts and design students. It acts as a specialized layer of intelligence that detects the user's proficiency level—vocabulary, tool familiarity, and project complexity—to deliver tailored advice. For non-designers, it provides simplified, actionable design principles like the '3 max' rule for fonts and colors, tool recommendations (Canva), and accessibility warnings. For students, it adopts a rigorous, academic tone, focusing on Gestalt theory, typographic precision, color systems, and critical discourse. It manages the entire design workflow from initial ideation and brief clarification to production specifications and critique, ensuring that users move from concept to execution with purpose.

Installation

Execute the following command in your terminal to install the skill: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ivangdavila/graphic-design

Use Cases

• Small Business Owners: Creating quick social media assets that adhere to brand standards without prior design training.
• Design Students: Refining portfolio case studies, checking typographic hierarchy, and applying complex color theories to academic projects.
• Content Creators: Optimizing visual assets for different social media platforms (Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.) with correct aspect ratios and technical specifications.
• Project Managers: Ensuring design briefs are solid and identifying when to outsource professional branding tasks to qualified experts.

Example Prompts

1. "I'm putting together a pitch deck for a local fundraiser. How should I choose fonts and colors so it looks professional but isn't overwhelming?"
2. "Review my layout for this poster. I'm struggling with the visual hierarchy—my primary call to action keeps getting lost in the background imagery."
3. "I need to prepare a file for professional printing. Can you explain the difference between CMYK and RGB and how to ensure my colors don't look muddy on paper?"

Tips & Limitations

• Context is Key: Always clarify your intent and audience. The skill is calibrated to shift tone based on your project goals.
• Design Boundaries: The skill is a mentor, not a replacement for professional brand identity work. For complex logos or high-stakes print jobs involving bleeds, the skill will advise you to hire a professional.
• Template Efficiency: Use the recommended templates instead of blank canvases for faster, safer design iterations.
• Accessibility Focus: Treat the skill's warnings about color contrast and text readability as accessibility requirements rather than subjective opinions.
