Mono-Color Editorial Print Skill

Turn any user theme, sentence, or reference photo into an original printed editorial artifact with one stable visual language: adaptive neutral substrate + one or two inks + mechanically reproduced image + typographic tension + concise human voice.

This skill designs and generates the image; it does not imitate any one reference, copy a source composition, wording, logo, or artwork, and it never uses more than two printing inks.

When to Use

The user asks for a monochrome editorial poster, duotone print, risograph/zine poster, halftone photo treatment, one-ink or two-ink cover, or names the mono-color style. Chinese trigger vocabulary includes 单色海报、双色印刷、单色调视觉、蓝色/绿色孔版印刷、网点照片、复古或当代编辑排版. Do not trigger merely because a request mentions a color.

Prerequisites

• The Hermes image_generate tool (search/describe it via the deferred-tool catalog if not loaded). If image generation is unavailable, deliver prompt-only and say so.
• The design-system/ catalogs bundled with this skill (see Quick Reference).
