# BBC Global Experience Language × GitHub Primer — composed image prompt
# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=bbc-gel+github-primer
# BBC Global Experience Language carries the structure and GitHub Primer appears as the accent.
# Style descriptors only. This prompt names no artist, studio, brand or work.

Produce four original images that take their structure from BBC Global Experience Language (style, 2010–) and their accent from GitHub Primer (style, 2017–).

## What to make

Make the kind of thing BBC Global Experience Language exists for: media sites mixing articles, audio and video, or delivering the same content across devices and assistive technology. Choose one subject and hold it across all four.

## Structure comes from BBC Global Experience Language

- Black header over white content
- Short bold headlines
- News cards with consistent image ratios
- Highly visible focus, captions and playback controls

Composition: Keep card ratios consistent but let editorial importance change their size and order. Type and lettering: Write short bold headlines and label content so it works without an image.

## Accent comes from GitHub Primer, used sparingly

- Neutral surfaces with blue links and restrained status colors
- Octicons paired with short action labels
- Thin borders separating lists, tabs and sidebars
- Consistent steps of type and spacing even at high density

Let one material quality come from it: Start from neutrals; reserve blue for links and semantic colors for success, warning and danger.

## Colour and feeling

Build the ground on #FFFFFF, carry the structure in #B80000 and #121212, and let a single accent come from #0969DA. These are read off real works, so a direction rather than a fixed palette.
Feeling to carry: trust, technique, exhilaration, calm.

## Where they fight

- BBC Global Experience Language and GitHub Primer both belong to Platform Screen Languages, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.

## What goes wrong

- BBC Global Experience Language: An even card grid erases editorial judgment. Express importance through area and sequence.
- GitHub Primer: Adding borders and tiny controls to look like GitHub only creates a cramped admin screen when the work has no clear priority.

## Across the four

Keep the roles fixed in all four. Vary the framing, the scale and the arrangement so the set shows what this pairing can do rather than four versions of one picture.

## Constraints

- Do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work.
- Do not reproduce the composition of an existing work.
- Produce original compositions in the general period languages described above.
