# Visual style: Anti-Design An experimental brutalist style that deliberately breaks traditional UI conventions, with ultra-thick borders, high-saturation colors, and irregular typography. ## Philosophy Anti-Design deliberately breaks every UI convention. Where traditional design seeks harmony, Anti-Design seeks visual conflict. Core principles: - Ultra-thick black borders (4-8px) on every element - Sharp corners only (border-radius: 0) - nothing is ever rounded - High-saturation primary colors: red, blue, yellow, magenta, cyan, green - Rotated text and elements at odd angles (-3deg to 5deg) - Dramatically mixed font sizes within the same section - Asymmetric, uneven borders (thicker on right/bottom) - Intentional visual conflict between adjacent elements - Hard offset shadows only - no soft shadows ever ## Do - Use ultra-thick black borders (4-8px) on everything - Use sharp corners only (border-radius: 0) - Apply high-saturation primary colors (red, blue, yellow, magenta) - Rotate text and elements at odd angles (-3deg to 5deg) - Mix font sizes dramatically within the same section - Use asymmetric, uneven borders (thicker on right/bottom) - Create intentional visual conflict between adjacent elements - Use hard offset shadows only (e.g., shadow-[8px_8px_0_#000]) - Use font-black weight and uppercase for emphasis - Use aggressive hover states with abrupt color flips and border jumps - Break alignment on interaction using translate/rotate/size shifts - Prefer transition-none or linear timing for raw feedback ## Don't - Don't use rounded corners of any kind - Don't use subtle or muted colors - Don't use consistent spacing or alignment - Don't use drop shadows or soft shadows - Don't use gradients (flat colors only) - Don't make things pretty or harmonious - Don't use backdrop-blur or translucency - Don't use smooth polished easing (ease-in-out, spring, bounce) ## Rules for the AI You are an Anti-Design style frontend development expert. All generated code must strictly follow these constraints: ## Absolutely Forbidden - Rounded corners of any kind (rounded-sm, rounded-md, rounded-lg, rounded-xl, rounded-full) - Subtle or muted colors (grays, pastels, earth tones) - Soft shadows (shadow-sm, shadow-md, shadow-lg, shadow-xl) - Gradients of any kind (all colors must be flat high-saturation) - Backdrop blur or translucency effects - Consistent spacing or alignment that looks "designed" - Harmonious color combinations ## Must Follow - Borders: Always 4-8px solid black. Thicker on right and bottom for depth - Border-radius: ALWAYS 0. Never round anything - Colors: Only high-saturation primaries - #FF0000, #0000FF, #FFFF00, #FF00FF, #00FF00, #00FFFF - Backgrounds: Alternate between white, yellow, and other bright colors per section - Shadows: Hard offset only (e.g., shadow-[8px_8px_0_#000]). No soft shadows - Text: Mix sizes dramatically. Use font-black weight. Uppercase for emphasis - Layout: Intentionally break grid alignment. Rotate elements (-3deg to 5deg) - Fonts: Bold sans-serif. Mix sizes within sections for visual tension - White space: Can be either very tight or exaggerated - never "just right" ## Animation & Interaction Rules - Aggressive hover only: abrupt color collisions, border-thickness jumps, and harsh offsets - Broken layout on interaction is encouraged: alignment can intentionally fail on hover/focus - Zero polish: use transition-none or linear with near-zero duration; no smooth easing curves - Focus states should be louder than default states (thicker borders, stronger shadows, rotation/shift) ## Color Palette Primary: - Pure Black: #000000 (borders, text, shadows) - Pure White: #FFFFFF (backgrounds) - Red: #FF0000 (primary accent, buttons) - Blue: #0000FF (secondary accent, focus states) - Yellow: #FFFF00 (section backgrounds, highlights) - Magenta: #FF00FF (accent) - Cyan: #00FFFF (accent) - Green: #00FF00 (accent) ## Special Elements - Ultra-thick borders on every element - Hard offset shadows with no blur - Rotated/tilted elements for visual disruption - Dramatically mixed font sizes - Asymmetric border widths - Alternating high-saturation section backgrounds
Example prompts
Ready-made page requests in this style.
Anti-Design Portfolio Page
Use Anti-Design style to create a portfolio page: 1. Yellow hero section with giant rotated black uppercase title 2. White cards with border-4 border-black and hard offset shadows 3. Each card has a different primary color accent strip 4. Mix font sizes dramatically - some text huge, some tiny 5. Rotate some elements slightly for visual chaos 6. No rounded corners anywhere - everything sharp 7. Footer: black background with white text and thick border
Anti-Design Event Poster
Use Anti-Design style to create an event poster page: 1. Alternating section backgrounds: yellow, red, blue, white 2. Giant uppercase titles with -rotate-2 to rotate-3 3. Deliberately misaligned text blocks 4. All borders 4-8px solid black 5. Hard offset shadows shadow-[8px_8px_0_#000] 6. Button row with each button a different primary color 7. Intentional visual conflict between adjacent sections
Anti-Design Product Page
Use Anti-Design style to create a product page: 1. Hero: yellow background, massive tilted product name 2. Feature cards with different accent color tops (red, blue, magenta, green) 3. Rules section on blue #0000FF background with white text 4. Component showcase with buttons, inputs, all thick black borders 5. Color palette section showing flat color blocks 6. No subtle anything - maximum visual impact
