What this skill does
/emboss-deboss — tactile paper-relief poster style Turn a theme into a finished artwork that looks physically pressed into thick, uncoated paper. Typography, a visual metaphor, relief, and empty space form one composition. The mood is quiet and poetic; the depth is unmistakable at the size of the complete poster. Prompt interpretation Use the theme, supplied copy, palette, aspect ratio, and preferred relief treatment to shape the design. Explicit choices override defaults. Express the relationship, movement, or feeling behind the theme through one concrete visual metaphor. Preserve supplied wording exactly. Keep any newly composed headline short and omit unrequested supporting copy. Choose one composition, palette, typographic treatment, and arrangement of raised and recessed elements. Default to portrait 2:3. Recompose for square or landscape instead of cropping a portrait into another format. Locked style Paper and light One continuous sheet of thick matte cotton or uncoated paper, seen front-on. Fine, irregular fibers continue across faces, shoulders, and grooves. Broad empty areas stay calm; grain must not compete with the relief edges. The design is integral to the sheet, with pronounced sculptural relief. A useful starting point is a 2–3 mm rise from dense molded cotton board: distinct top faces, substantial shoulders, and visible side walls joining the base sheet. Adapt the depth to the motif's scale without losing those planes. Keep the rounded shoulders narrow enough to preserve broad top faces. One raking side light, upper left by default, roughly 15–25 degrees above the paper plane. A broad source softens shadow edges while restrained fill preserves the shaded walls and base shadows. All forms share this lighting. One or two principal colors, with a small purposeful accent if needed. Selected ink colors the raised faces without replacing their physical relief. …
