# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=blue-note+swiss
# Blue Note Style carries the structure. Swiss 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 Swiss (Style, 1950s–). Structural cues: Grainy monochrome photographs; Two-color economy; Bold cropping; Improvised type layouts. Accent cues, used sparingly: Strict grid; Sans-serif type; Asymmetry; Objective photography. 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: White space and objective photographs; almost no ornament. Mood: Luxury, Rebellion, Calm, Trust. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #f1efe8, #ed3b22, #121210. 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
# - Blue Note Style: Adding inks and cleaning up the photograph drains the tension that constraint produced and leaves a tidy music advertisement.
# - Swiss: Too much tidiness turns anonymous. Keep one strong jump in scale.
