# ANSI Art (BBS Scene) × Teletext Art — composed image prompt
# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=bbs-ansi+teletext-art
# ANSI Art (BBS Scene) carries the structure. Teletext Art 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 ANSI Art (BBS Scene) (Style, 1985–1997) and its accent from Teletext Art (Style, 1974–2012 / revival). Structural cues: 16-color text mode; Shaded block characters; Art-group signatures; The login-screen format. Accent cues, used sparingly: Eight-color mosaic; The 40x24 frame; Pseudo-curves from blocks; The look of broadcast infrastructure. Composition: Eighty columns respected while the vertical runs on like a scroll. Type and lettering: Letterforms built from block characters and completed with box-drawing pieces. Let one material quality come from the second style: Eight-color block mosaic, dithering faking intermediate tones. Mood: Rebellion, Technology, Nostalgia, Play. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 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.

# Where the two fight
# - Both belong to Lettering, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - ANSI Art (BBS Scene): Shown in a proportional environment the columns break and the picture is gone, so building without fixing display conditions destroys it.
# - Teletext Art: Raising the resolution to smooth the drawing removes the necessity behind the coarseness and leaves a merely retro-looking picture.
