What is the Cubism design style?

The Cubism movement of Picasso and Braque, featuring geometric fragmented compositions, multi-perspective overlays, angular shapes, and subdued earth-tone palettes. Its core principle: Cubism is one of the most revolutionary art movements of the 20th century, pioneered by Picasso and Braque around 1907.

What colors does Cubism use?

Cubism uses #5c4033 as its primary color and #e8dcc8 as its secondary color, with accent colors #8b7355, #3d5c6e, #9b3d25, #647f53. Every hex value can be copied from the palette on this page.

How do I apply Cubism correctly?

Key practices: Use angular geometric shapes with skew and rotate transforms. Use earth-tone palette #5c4033 and #e8dcc8 as primary colors. Use thick line borders border-2 paired with dark border colors.

How do I prompt AI to generate Cubism UI?

Copy the ready-made AI prompt on this page — it bundles the design tokens and component rules — and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or v0. Effective prompts include the keywords: cubism, cubist design, Picasso, geometric fragments.

Use the Hard Prompt by default to generate UI. Use the Design Spec to understand, modify, and review the style. Use the Creative Brief for early exploration.

Hard Prompt

Use this by default: copy it, append the concrete requirement, and let AI generate consistent production UI.

When AI should generate UI directly
When repeated outputs must stay consistent
When style drift is the main risk

# Hard Prompt

## When To Use
Use this when you want AI to generate code with strict style consistency. It is the safest default for production UI.

## How To Use
- Copy the full prompt into ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or another coding assistant.
- Append the concrete product/page requirement after the prompt.
- After generation, check the forbidden rules and interaction states before accepting the output.

Strictly follow the style rules below and maintain consistency. No style drift allowed.

## Requirements

- Prioritize style consistency first, then creative extension.
- When conflicts arise, treat prohibitions as the highest priority.
- Self-check before output: verify colors, typography, spacing, and interactions still match this style.

## Style Rules

You are a Cubism design style frontend development expert. All generated code must strictly follow these constraints:

## Absolutely Forbidden

- Large rounded corners rounded-2xl, rounded-full
- Soft gradients or blur effects
- Neon or fluorescent colors
- Fully symmetrical centered traditional layouts
- Organic curves or circular shapes
- Thin hairline borders border (must be border-2 or thicker)

## Must Follow

- Earth-tone palette: #5c4033 (burnt sienna), #e8dcc8 (canvas)
- Borders use border-2 paired with rounded-sm
- Hard shadows shadow-[Npx_Npx_0px_color]
- font-bold uppercase tracking-widest to emphasize geometric feel
- Create fragmented visuals through skew, rotate, clip-path
- Overlapping elements and asymmetric layouts

## Animation & Interaction Rules

- Motion must be short and crisp: transition duration kept at 100-200ms, prefer combined transitions of transform, box-shadow, and border-color
- Hover feedback primarily uses geometric displacement: 1-2px shift + shadow offset + slight angular disturbance (1-3deg)
- Active state must have a "stamp" feel: 3-4px displacement with shadow significantly shrinking or removed
- No spring bounce, floating loops, slow fade-in/out, or large-scale animations
- One-time light-band/slice sweep effects are allowed but must not steal focus or introduce blur softening

## Color Palette

Primary:
- Sienna: #5c4033
- Canvas: #e8dcc8
- Khaki: #8b7355
- Steel blue: #3d5c6e
- Terracotta: #9b3d25

## Special Elements

- Geometric fragment decorations (clip-path, skew, rotate)
- Hard-edge shadows (no blur)
- Asymmetric compositions
- Bold uppercase letter typography

## Absolute Bans (Match and Refuse)

If any of the following patterns appear, it is a style violation — rewrite without exception.

- use large rounded corners rounded-2xl, rounded-full
- use soft gradients or blur effects
- use neon or fluorescent colors
- use symmetrical centered traditional layouts
- use circular or organic curved shapes
- use thin hairline borders border
- use overly soft shadows
- use spring bounce, floating loops, or large-scale animations (e.g., hover:scale-110)

## Self-Check (Verify Before Shipping)

If any item fails, the style has drifted — fix before shipping.

Design Philosophy

Cubism is one of the most revolutionary art movements of the 20th century, pioneered by Picasso and Braque around 1907. It completely broke with the single-point perspective tradition since the Renaissance, redefining visual expression through geometric fragments and multi-perspective overlays.
