collage-designlisted

Create beautiful cut-and-layer collage art in .svg and .png using a collage philosophy, sourcing real open-licensed imagery and composing it into a single crafted piece. Use this skill whenever the user asks for a collage, photomontage, cutout composition, cut-and-paste artwork, mixed-media poster, or any single artwork made by cutting and layering multiple found/photographic images into one composition — even if they don't say the word "collage." This is for creating a finished art piece, not arranging a moodboard grid, removing a background from one image, stitching a panorama, or generating art from code. Sources only open-licensed images and logs attributions; never copies living artists' compositions.

Instructions for making **collage** — art assembled from real, found imagery: sourced, cut, layered and reconciled into a single object, with text laid over as the philosophy requires. Built from **actual photographs and printed material found on the open web**, under open licences only. The deliverables are `philosophy.md`, `attributions.md`, a self-contained `.svg`, its `.png` render, and the build script that made them. Four movements: 1. **Collage philosophy** (`philosophy.md`) 2. **Deduce the subtle reference** 3. **Source the material** (open-licensed or user-supplied → `sources/` + `attributions.md`) 4. **Compose on an SVG substrate** → `.svg` + `.png` + build script, then a polish pass. ### BEFORE STARTING - **Real imagery is mandatory** — either downloaded from the open web (needs `WebSearch`/`WebFetch` or browser tools) or taken from a folder the user points you at. With neither available, say so and stop; never substitute generated or invented imagery. - **Local tooling:** ImageMagick, Inkscape, librsvg, fontconfig, Python + Pillow + NumPy. Run `scripts/check_deps.sh` first; it prints the install line for anything missing. - **This is a long job** — if the user wants something quick, tell them before Movement 1. A multi-piece **series** costs far less than N× a single piece: sourcing dominates the budget, and one source pool feeds every piece in the set. --- ## THE DEFAULT REGISTER — PHYSICALITY OVER DIAGRAM A collage is **physical**.
