An original image that takes its structure from AfriCOBRA (Style, 1968–) and its accent from Tingatinga (Style, 1968–). Structural cues: Kool-Aid colors; Rhythmic repetition; Letters and figures; Afrocentric imagery. Accent cues, used sparingly: Enamel gloss; Bold-outlined animals; Flat color fields; Pattern filling the ground. 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: Enamel built up on board, kept glossy and smooth. Mood: Exhilaration, Rebellion, Intimacy, Play. Color: build on #f0c632, #d8452c, #315c79 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.

# 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.
# - Tingatinga: Mass-producing the animal shapes alone dilutes the painting conventions the cooperative maintained, and the work reads as tourist merchandise.
