A professional graphic-design reference built for non-designers: the 7 design principles (balance, contrast, emphasis, movement, pattern, rhythm, unity), color theory (RGB/CMYK/HSL/Hex, harmonies, psychology, WCAG contrast ratios), typography (type classification, size hierarchy, pairing rules, two-to-three-font maximum), layout and composition (12-column grids, 8pt spacing system, rule of thirds, visual-hierarchy techniques), file formats (raster vs vector, web vs print export rules), the tool landscape (Figma, Adobe, plus free alternatives like Inkscape and GIMP), print specifics (bleeds, 300 DPI, CMYK, US and ISO paper sizes), and a do/don't best-practices list with a full design-review checklist. Discovered via skills.sh. Honest note: a static knowledge guide — it teaches design and reviews your work, it doesn't generate art or run any tooling; the fundamentals are timeless, but cross-check specific tool interfaces and WCAG versions against current sources. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use. Not verified.

Install
Prerequisites: none — this is a knowledge-only skill (a single SKILL.md file). Install "Graphic Design Skill for Muse" for me. Get a professional graphic-design reference: design principles, color theory, typography, grids and layout, file formats, web/print export rules, tool recommendations, and a design-review checklist. Repository: https://github.com/travisjneuman/.claude/blob/master/skills/graphic-design/SKILL.md 1. Fetch the SKILL.md file from the repository path into a temporary folder and summarize what it does in one or two sentences. 2. Safety check: review the SKILL.md for anything suspicious (unexpected network calls, shell commands, credential harvesting). This file should contain zero secrets in code; credentials only via the secure vault. Verify that holds here; STOP on any red flag and tell me. 3. Install it as a skill: copy SKILL.md into the agent's skills directory, in a folder named "graphic-design". 4. Verify with no network calls: frontmatter valid, files in place. 5. Report what was installed, where, and what I still need to do myself (e.g. bring a design or brand brief for feedback). GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it; otherwise public access is fine. Rules: don't touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. If anything looks off, stop and ask me.
Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a build before installing it.
