An original image that takes its structure from ACT UP Graphics (Style, 1987–1990s) and its accent from Atelier Populaire (Style, May–June 1968). Structural cues: The pink triangle inverted; Advertising grammar seized; Declarative typography; Free reproduction. Accent cues, used sparingly: One-color silkscreen; Simplified figures; Declarative slogans; Anonymous mass production. Composition: One symbol and one short line, legibility at distance taking priority. Type and lettering: Heavy sans capitals with signs like the equals mark set as words. Let one material quality come from the second style: One silkscreen color on cheap stock, misregistration accepted. Mood: Rebellion, Trust, Exhilaration, Intimacy. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Where the two fight
# - Both belong to Printmaking and Social Movements, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - ACT UP Graphics: Lifting the symbol without stating a demand strips out the movement's claim and leaves an emblem of sympathy.
# - Atelier Populaire: Once a signature and a price are attached the principle drains away and only a protest-looking graphic is left standing.
