I keep getting Claude telling me to "use the frontend-design skill!", and this is it? > NEVER use generic AI-generated aesthetics like overused font families (Inter, Roboto, Arial, system fonts), cliched color schemes (particularly purple gradients on white backgrounds), predictable layouts and component patterns, and cookie-cutter design that lacks context-specific character. > brutally minimal, maximalist chaos, retro-futuristic, organic/natural, luxury/refined, playful/toy-like, editorial/magazine, brutalist/raw, art deco/geometric, soft/pastel, industrial/utilitarian > React, Vue Sorry, but this is garbage. | ||

"make unexpected choices that feel genuinely designed for the context." What is it supposed to do when fed instructions like this? | ||

For years I would use free fonts and spend hours picking them out and getting depressed because they all had something wrong with them…. You get what you pay for. For a recent project I really liked a font which was in the Adobe Fonts collection and when I had to set stuff in that font with Pillow I gladly bought the font from the foundry because it looks great and saves hours of searching for a “free” font, that is “free” as in puppy. | ||
