# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=afrofuturism+art-deco
# Afrofuturism carries the structure. Art Deco 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 Afrofuturism (Aesthetic, 20th century–) and its accent from Art Deco (Style, 1920s–1930s). Structural cues: Cosmic futures; Cultural pattern; Metal and earth; Myth reinterpreted. Accent cues, used sparingly: Symmetry; Radiating lines; Stepped motifs; Gold and black. Composition: Lead with the symbol; layer strata of time. Type and lettering: Pair geometric letterforms with culturally grounded faces, carefully. Let one material quality come from the second style: Black, gold, ivory; repeated hairlines. Mood: Futurism, Luxury, Rebellion, Exhilaration. Color: build on #17110e, #d29a2e, #5b42a2 with a single accent drawn from #17140f, #c8a65b, #f0e6cf. 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
# - Roughly 1900 years apart. Keep one of them recognisably period rather than letting both drift into the middle.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Afrofuturism: Never borrow patterns as anonymous 'African style.' Learn the specific makers, regions and histories.
# - Art Deco: Too much ornament turns theme-park. Let white space carry the dignity.
