Create posters & static artwork

canvas-design · Anthropic

Create posters and static visual compositions, starting with a design direction and exporting a PNG or PDF.

Output
PNG / PDF
Needs
File-writing agent and rendering dependencies
Download skill

ZIP · 2.5 MB · Apache-2.0

Install folder: .claude/skills/canvas-design/

Setup & example
A ceramics open-day poster
Real output, generated with Codex CLI for a fictional project. See the sample ↓

What it does

What to bring
A subject, intended audience, dimensions, and essential text.
Requirements
An AI tool that can write files and run rendering scripts; fonts and rendering dependencies depend on the chosen method.
Keep in mind
A static export is not a layered design file. Check text and dimensions; print-production settings require a separate review.

Try a design task

Once the skill is loaded, copy the task and adapt it to your brief.

Use canvas-design to create an original poster for a neighborhood ceramics workshop. Use a portrait A4 canvas. Include only the workshop title, date, location, and booking link I provide. Propose a visual direction, then export PNG and PDF. Check legibility, margins, and missing text.
Installation instructions

For Claude's Code / project entry; manage chat and Cowork skills in account settings.

  1. Copy the skill folder, or use the installer

    Extract the ZIP and copy the complete canvas-design folder into .claude/skills/ in your project.

    Or run this command in your project terminal with Node.js / npx. It gets the author's latest version, which may differ from the download.

    npx skills add anthropics/skills --skill canvas-design --agent claude-code
    Read the installation docs

  2. Confirm the skill is loaded

    Reopen your tool and check that canvas-design is available. If it is missing, check the installation location in the upstream docs.

Review the result

  • All required text is correct and readable.
  • The exported dimensions match the brief.
  • The composition has room around its edges.

Did you complete the task?
