Layout Principles

• Frame: 1px solid #2a2a2a border, inset 12px from edges
• Top bar: JetBrains Mono, label left, date/time right (orange)
• Bottom bar: JetBrains Mono, metadata left and right, uppercase
• Background grid: subtle 40px grid lines
• Accent line: 3px orange bar below titles
• Photos: off-grid placement, fade to background on edges (left, bottom, top), slight scanline effect, fully desaturated grayscale(1) contrast(1.1) brightness(0.95)
• Text: left-aligned, can overlap photo slightly, large and readable at thumbnail size

Minimum font sizes (must be readable at thumbnail)

• Top/bottom bar: 13-15px
• Speaker names: 28px+
• Handles: 20px+
• Titles: 62px+ (square), 76px+ (YouTube 16:9)

Asset Sizes

• Dimensions: 1280×720px
• Viewport: --viewport-size="1280,720"

Generation Process

1. Create HTML file at ~/Desktop/agency-{type}-cover.html
2. Place speaker photo next to the HTML (same directory)
3. If speaker photo is in clipboard, save with: osascript -e 'set theFile to POSIX file "/path/to/photo.png"' -e 'set theImage to the clipboard as «class PNGf»' -e 'set fileRef to open for access theFile with write permission' -e 'write theImage to fileRef' -e 'close access fileRef'
4. Render at 2x scale for crisp text using Node.js script:

const { chromium } = require('playwright');
(async () => {
  const browser = await chromium.launch();
  const context = await browser.newContext({
    viewport: { width: W, height: H },
    deviceScaleFactor: 2
  });
  const page = await context.newPage();
  await page.goto('file:///path/to/html');
  await page.waitForTimeout(3000);
  await page.screenshot({ path: '/output/path.png', fullPage: true });
  await browser.close();
})();

5. Review output, iterate on layout
