magazine-poster
An editorial-style poster — newsprint paper, dateline, oversized serif headline with a struck-through word and italic accent, a 2-column body block, and 6 numbered sections with annotated pull-quote captions. Reads like a Sunday-paper full-page essay or a thoughtful launch poster. Use when the brief asks for "magazine poster", "editorial poster", "newsprint", "essay layout", or "manifesto".

# Magazine Poster Skill Produce a single-page editorial poster — looks like a tear-out from a Sunday paper. Long-form, deliberate, type-driven. ## Workflow 1. **Read the active DESIGN.md** (injected above). Pick the heaviest serif token in the DS for the headline, the body serif for the columns, and a typewriter / mono token for the section eyebrows and annotations. 2. **Pick the topic** from the brief. Write a real, opinionated headline — one with a struck-through word ("a designer", "the template hunt") and an italic accent on a key noun ("first draft", "mood", "specifics"). 3. **Layout**, in order: - **Top rule** — thin black hairline + a dateline ("01 · A · YOUR LAB" left, "DD · MMM · YYYY" right). Light typewriter font. - **Top eyebrow** — a single mono tag like "POSTED TODAY". - **Headline** — 2–3 lines, oversized serif. One word struck through with `text-decoration: line-through; text-decoration-thickness: 2px`. One word italic, in accent color. - **Deck** — a 1–2 sentence subhead in italic serif at ~60% size of the headline, with a dash separator and a `— what works` callout fragment in accent. - **Accent rule** — short horizontal accent-colored bar (~80px). - **Body grid**

How do I install it?

Where does this skill come from?
From nexu-io/open-design, a repository with 83,577 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
