Structural cues: Symmetry; Radiating lines; Stepped motifs; Gold and black. Accent cues, used sparingly: The rhythm of columns stripped of ornament; A strong axis and symmetry; Smooth planes of stone; Walls without large openings. Composition: Centered, symmetrical composition. Type and lettering: Tall, narrow geometric display type. Let one material quality come from the second style: Large ashlar limestone or granite, honed flat, with joints fine enough that the wall reads as one continuous surface.. Mood: Luxury, Exhilaration, Trust, Calm. Color: build on #17140f, #c8a65b, #f0e6cf 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
# - Art Deco: Too much ornament turns theme-park. Let white space carry the dignity.
# - Stripped Classicism: Reaching for it because it looks austere and expensive: the symmetry and the blank wall make a claim of authority whether or not you intended one.
