Professional Graphic Design Standards for Educators

1. Precision Engineering: JSON-Style Logic

In the top 1% of prompting, we treat the Planner agent like a CAD engineer. We replace descriptive adjectives with structural constraints. Use the "Object-Property" syntax to ensure the Visualizer doesn't hallucinate unnecessary artistic flair.

The "Simple" Fail

"A cool futuristic firewall diagram."

Result: Lens flares, glowing neon, unreadable labels, non-functional layout.

The "Expert" Structure

{
  "subject": "Network Firewall Layer",
  "style": "Technical Schematic",
  "lighting": "Flat Global Illumination",
  "palette": ["#FFFFFF", "#2E7D32", "#000000"]
}

2. Technical Taxonomy for the Stylist

To communicate with the Stylist agent, you must use precise design terminology. This removes ambiguity and forces a professional output.

Composition & POV

  • Orthographic Projection: 2D view without perspective distortion.
  • Isometric Axonometry: 30-degree angle for technical depth.
  • Exploded Assembly: Showing parts separated but aligned.
  • Cutaway Section: Revealing internal mechanisms.

Surface & Rendering

  • Subsurface Scattering: For biological/organic accuracy.
  • Ambient Occlusion: For realistic shadows in crevices.
  • Ray-Traced Refractions: For glass or fluid optics.
  • Matte Dielectric: For non-reflective plastic/paper textures.

Visual Style

  • Vector Infographic: Sharp lines, scalable, flat colors.
  • Blueprint Cyanotype: White lines on technical blue.
  • Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM): For high-detail biology.
  • Swiss International Style: Grid-based, sans-serif, high clarity.

Expert Tip: Follow up with the Critic agent by saying: "Maintain the 3D depth but increase the line weight for the primary labels."
