Sample gallery

16:9 landscape left–right samples

The eight works above comprise four 16:9 landscape left–right samples and four 3:4 portrait top–bottom samples. Every work was generated independently by Panel 096 from its own original brief; no artwork from another numbered Panel is reused. The samples use intelligent English copy.

What it solves

A commercial retro template erases the accidents of private printmaking; 096 rebuilds the photograph as tactile QSL-card ephemera.

Panel 096 preserves identity with fine pen-and-ink contours and restrained hatching, then interweaves the drawing with narrow, worn, misaligned typewriter lettering. One vivid paper colour and one contrasting printing ink keep the result direct, handmade, and visually confident.

Best for

• QSL cards, amateur-radio confirmations, private announcements, and underground-zine ephemera;
• free but ordered mixtures of line drawing, technical marks, typed information, and irregular blank space;
• photocopy grain, uneven ink, paper fibre, worn type, and modest registration errors;
• top-bottom, left-right, design-only, multi-ratio, wallpaper, and directory-batch delivery.

Quick start

Use XXD Panel 096 on this image and recommend the most suitable composition and size first.

Quick fit check

| What you need to know | What this style gives you | |---|---| | What you get | A personal communication card that feels typed, copied, handled, and mailed | | Recognisable signature | One coloured paper, one printing ink, fine pen lines, worn typewriter text, and DIY reproduction grain | | How it respects the source | Identity, pose, and narrative remain recognisable while unnecessary elements are actively omitted without tracing filters | | Where it works | Art posters, covers, social content, design-only art, multiple ratios, and four-device wallpaper sets | <!-- xxd-panel-benefit:end -->

Usage tips

• Start with one clear photo: choose a source whose subject, action, and relationships are easy to recognize before choosing the delivery format.
• Join the parameters in one sentence: say “top-bottom / left-right / design-only + 16:9 / 3:4 / phone wallpaper”; you can also name desktop, tablet, or smartwatch sizes.
• State what must stay: identify the people, objects, actions, relationships, and copy to preserve, while leaving room for the style to design the layout.
• Choose a text mode: let the model write from the image, lock exact wording with --text exact --copy, or remove text completely with --text none.
• Clarify reality and design regions: for top-bottom or left-right, say which region keeps the photograph and which region is redesigned; for design-only and wallpapers, say that the whole canvas is redesigned.
• Test one image before batching: confirm mode, ratio, text, and language on one source, then reuse the settings for a folder; change one variable per iteration.

Get started

git clone https://github.com/nevertoday/xxd-panel-096.git
mkdir -p ~/.codex/skills
ln -s "$(pwd)/xxd-panel-096" ~/.codex/skills/xxd-panel-096

You can also install it directly with npx skills:

npx skills add https://github.com/nevertoday/xxd-panel-096 --skill xxd-panel-096

The command fetches the repository from GitHub and installs the same-named Skill for the current agent. To install it in the user-level Codex Skills directory, append --global --agent codex --yes.

Claude Code users may link the same folder under ~/.claude/skills/xxd-panel-096. Restart the agent session after installation.

$xxd-panel-096
Use this photograph, ask me for the modes and copy setting, then generate fresh raster outputs.
