# Blue Note Style carries the structure. Factory Records Style 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 Blue Note Style (Style, 1955–1967) and its accent from Factory Records Style (Style, 1978–1992). Structural cues: Grainy monochrome photographs; Two-color economy; Bold cropping; Improvised type layouts. Accent cues, used sparingly: Refusal to explain; Borrowed imagery from other fields; Restrained typography; Catalogue numbers as institution. Composition: The photograph pushed to one side, the freed side given over to improvised type. Type and lettering: One face used at extreme size contrasts, lines cut off at the photograph's edge. Let one material quality come from the second style: Industrial color charts and special finishes borrowed, the print spec treated as work. Mood: Luxury, Rebellion, Calm. 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 Music Graphics, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Blue Note Style: Adding inks and cleaning up the photograph drains the tension that constraint produced and leaves a tidy music advertisement.
# - Factory Records Style: An unrelated plate chosen without necessity reads as mere suggestiveness and leaves the listener with nothing to remember.
