# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=beggarstaffs+plakatstil
# Beggarstaff Style carries the structure. Plakatstil / Sachplakat 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 Beggarstaff Style (Style, 1894–1899) and its accent from Plakatstil / Sachplakat (Style, 1900s–1910s). Structural cues: Flat cut-paper shapes; Omitted contours; Large fields of few colors; Boldness that looked unfinished. Accent cues, used sparingly: A single product image; Bold contours; Flat color; A short brand name. Composition: Let the subject fill half the sheet and set margins by trimming. Type and lettering: Cut the letters from paper too, treating them as shapes not type. Let one material quality come from the second style: Two to four colors, shadowless imagery, clean contours. Mood: Rebellion, Calm, Luxury, Trust, Exhilaration, Nostalgia. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #161515, #d39a29, #efe0bf. 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
# - Beggarstaff Style and Plakatstil / Sachplakat share no intent, so the contrast has to become the subject rather than something to smooth over.
# - Both belong to Advertising Posters, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Beggarstaff Style: Adding outlines back to explain the shape kills the tension the omission created and leaves an ordinary illustration that merely uses few colors.
# - Plakatstil / Sachplakat: Simplification is not omission. Choose the one thing to keep from what makes the product itself.
