See It In Action
Let me explore the project first to understand the brand context, then generate the visuals.
Got a solid picture of the brand. Now let me generate the LinkedIn visuals using the design skill.
Key brand elements identified:
- Purple primary (
#7C3AED), dark foreground, OKLCH color space - Font: Inter (300–700 weights)
- Chart palette: Blue-to-purple gradient spectrum
- Stack: Tailwind CSS 4 + Shadcn UI + Next.js
- Logo: Purple rounded square icon + "DoAny" wordmark
Generating the banner and slides now.
Creating all 4 HTML files now — banner + 3 carousel slides, all on-brand.
All 4 files are ready. Open them in your browser to preview:
Files created:
| File | Dimensions | Description |
|---|---|---|
doany-banner-linkedin.html | 1584 x 396 | LinkedIn profile banner — dark gradient with logo, headline, tech stack tagline |
doany-slide-1.html | 1200 x 1200 | "The Problem" — scattered/broken geometry, red accent, pain-point copy |
doany-slide-2.html | 1200 x 1200 | "The Solution" — color swatches, component previews, type scale visualization |
doany-slide-3.html | 1200 x 1200 | "The Stack" — 4 tech pills (Tailwind/Shadcn/OKLCH/Next.js), coming soon CTA |
Design choices:
- Dark backgrounds (
#1A1A2E) with#7C3AEDpurple accents throughout — matches DoAny's brand - Inter font (300-700 weights), consistent with the codebase
- Cohesive carousel narrative: Problem -> Solution -> Stack
- Subtle grid dots, geometric shapes, and purple glow effects for depth
- Consistent bottom bar with logo mark +
doany.aion every slide - 10px border radius matching the design system
To preview, run:
open doany-banner-linkedin.html doany-slide-1.html doany-slide-2.html doany-slide-3.html
To export as PNG for LinkedIn, take browser screenshots at the exact dimensions, or let me know if you'd like me to set up a Playwright/Puppeteer export script.
