Structural cues: Repeated words; Shapes made of letters; Large blanks; Dismantled reading order. Accent cues, used sparingly: The staff abandoned; Instruction by shape and line; Pages open to interpretation; The score as artwork. Composition: Place words on a grid so reading can start from any direction. Type and lettering: One face at one size, emphasis from position and repetition only. Let one material quality come from the second style: Line weight mapped to loudness, kept dark enough to print clean. Mood: Rebellion, Calm, Play. Color: build on #f1eee5, #74716a, #151515 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. # Cautions carried from each entry # - Concrete Poetry: When making a shape comes first, the meaning of the words stops answering their position, and the piece is only letters poured into a picture. # - Graphic Notation: Freedom claimed without a key or any agreed convention scatters interpretation across players, and the score gets treated as a doodle. # Design specs: https://indexstyle.org/styles/concrete-poetry/design.md · https://indexstyle.org/styles/graphic-notation/design.md
