Hire an AI event poster designer and reviewer

Everything it can hand back

Your task sets the actual outputs. The specialist picks the methods that cover them.

• A reading order that puts the event name first, then the details, then the action
• The poster as a PNG or PDF, or a written layout with sizes and colors if your AI cannot make files
• A text check that matches every fact on the poster to your source
• A contrast result for each text and background pair, with a fix for any that fail
• An export checklist for size, file type and fonts

How it does the job well

• Start from the user's task and the content, then the layout. Decoration comes last.
• Design every state: empty, loading, error, long text and mobile.
• Keep one visual system. Reuse spacing, type and colour tokens instead of one-off values.
• Check text contrast (at least 4.5:1 for body text) and keyboard focus as you go.

Mistakes it avoids

• Inventing or rounding any event fact.
• Letting art style shrink the date or place.
• Calling a contrast pair a pass when it was not measured.
• Saying a file was made when only a layout was written.
• Designing only the happy path at desktop width.
• Copying a reference's logo, text or claims instead of learning from its structure.

What a good result looks like

An example, not your task: Your venue or club needs a poster for an event in two weeks and you have facts but no design.

• Reading order. What people read first, second and third, with the words chosen to carry the point.
• Poster file. The finished poster as a PNG or PDF, or a written layout if no file could be made.
• Text check. Each fact on the poster matched to your source, with any difference marked.
• Contrast table. Each text and background pair with its ratio, a pass or fail, and a fix for failures.
• Export checklist. Size, file type, fonts and what to tell your printer, with open questions marked.

How the work is checked

• Every screen has its states, breakpoints and interactions written down.
• Colour pairs and type sizes pass the stated contrast checks.
• The handoff names components, tokens and open questions.
• States which checks passed, failed or could not run, and names missing inputs.

These checks have not been run against a model yet. Your AI uses them to check its own work.

A second opinion

Before it hands back, your AI reviews the draft the way Milton Glaser and Paula Scher would. This is a way of reviewing the work. It does not mean they wrote or endorse it.

Capabilities

• Type-led poster planner. Picks the one or two words that carry the point and sets the reading order, size and type feel. Hands step 2 the reading order and the exact event facts. Check before moving on, the date, place and price are in the plan exactly as supplied.
• Poster designer. Builds the poster from that reading order and the confirmed facts, as a PNG or PDF when code can run. Keeps the text large and uncluttered. Hands step 3 the file and its colors. Check before moving on, no text overlaps or runs off the page.
• Colour contrast checker. Takes the real text and background colors from the design and checks each pair for contrast with the supplied checker. Looks by eye at pictures, gradients and faded text it cannot measure. Hands back the contrast table. Check before moving on, every pair passes or has a fix.

How the role works

1. Checks your task, context and available tools.
2. Picks the methods needed and prepares a work plan.
3. Carries out supported tasks, with each method's limits and review gates.
4. Checks the real deliverables and corrects supported faults.
5. Hands back files, evidence and unresolved gaps.

Use this specialist through MCP or the API

Call prepare_specialist with role_id make-a-readable-event-poster only. No task is required to load it. Your AI asks what job you need done, what you want back and which relevant context it can use.

For task-led hiring, call find_specialist, explain the suggested specialists and let the user accept or change the team.

Inputs and helpful context

The specialist starts from the task brief. Only active methods require their inputs.

For the primary method, when used

• The event name, date, time, place, price and how to book or attend
• Where the poster will be seen, its size and whether it is printed or on a screen
• Your brand colors, fonts and logo (optional)
• The mood, in one or two words (optional)
• Access needs, such as large print or high contrast (optional)

Helpful context (optional)

• Approved examples of a good result.
• A named reviewer and their acceptance rules.

Tools and access

• Python image/PDF tools and fonts: A finished poster needs the drawing tools, licensed fonts and inspection at its intended size.
• Node.js and the bundled contrast checker: Provide actual CSS color tokens and pair data; visually inspect gradients and image backgrounds separately.
• Any good chat AI: Choosing words and writing a type plan is text work any strong chat AI does.
• A printer or a wall: The far-away test only works at poster size.
• Claude with file tools or Claude Code: The skill draws with code and saves files, so the AI needs to run code.
• Codex or another coding AI: It can also run the drawing code and save the PNG or PDF.
• Claude Code: It can read your project files, run the script and apply the fix once you agree.
• Any AI that can run Node: The script needs Node 18 or newer. A plain chat AI can do the hand-worked version.

Tasks you can use it for

• Your venue or club needs a poster for an event in two weeks and you have facts but no design.
• A design came back from a freelancer and you cannot tell if the date reads from across a room.
• You are printing one poster and need a contrast check before the print run.
• A poster must follow your brand and also meet an access need, such as high contrast.

Limits to check before starting

• You only want the words and type plan, with no finished file. Use the Type-led poster planner.
• You want poster art with no event facts to check. Use the Poster designer on its own.
• You only need to check colors on an existing design. Use the Colour contrast checker.
• The date, place or price may still change. Wait until they are confirmed. This workflow marks them MISSING and stops.

Best way to use this role

Give it one clear outcome, the actual files and a definition of done. Keep the work in one AI project so it can reuse checked context and earlier files.

• Download the workflow pack and add it to your AI, such as Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini. To get a finished PNG or PDF, use one that can run Python and use fonts.
• Paste your event facts exactly as they must appear. Say where the poster hangs and how far away people stand.
• After step 1, check the reading order. If the date is not in the top three things read, ask for a change.
• After step 3, check the contrast table. Fix every failing pair before printing.
• Read every word on the poster against your facts. Then print or view it at the real size and read it from the stated distance.
