README

collage-design

A Claude skill that makes **cut-and-layer collage**: it finds real, open-licensed photographs and printed material, cuts them, unifies them into one palette, and composes a finished art piece as a portable `.svg` plus its `.png`.

Everything in the result is sourced from real archives and logged with its licence, so the artwork is safe to print, publish and sell.

Sodium — the city cut into the runner's silhouette; poster furniture set in the same pass.
