# AfriCOBRA × Harlem Renaissance — composed image prompt
# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=africobra+harlem-renaissance
# AfriCOBRA carries the structure. Harlem Renaissance appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from AfriCOBRA (Style, 1968–) and its accent from Harlem Renaissance (Style, 1920s–1930s). Structural cues: Kool-Aid colors; Rhythmic repetition; Letters and figures; Afrocentric imagery. Accent cues, used sparingly: Black self-representation; The jazz age; Magazines and publishing; Modern figures. Composition: Repeat one shape at even intervals so the eye keeps circling the surface.. Type and lettering: Bend the words along the figures so the slogan becomes structure, not caption.. Let one material quality come from the second style: Prints and drawn illustration, few inks, the paper doing the shadow work.. Mood: Exhilaration, Rebellion, Intimacy, Luxury. Color: build on #f0c632, #d8452c, #315c79 with a single accent drawn from #d7bc83, #8a4937, #24201e. 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 Black Arts Movement, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - AfriCOBRA: Copying only the intensity of color while dropping the community's words and faces stylizes the look and loses the purpose, which was affirmation.
# - Harlem Renaissance: Borrowing it as jazz age decoration drops the point, which was Black people representing themselves, and leaves a period flavored ornament.
