# Concrete Poetry × Ultraísmo — composed image prompt
# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=concrete-poetry+ultraismo
# Concrete Poetry carries the structure. Ultraísmo 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 Concrete Poetry (Layout, 1950s–1970s) and its accent from Ultraísmo (Layout, 1918–1925). Structural cues: Repeated words; Shapes made of letters; Large blanks; Dismantled reading order. Accent cues, used sparingly: Diagonal type and open space; Woodcut abstractions as illustration; Short lines with the metaphor compressed; The magazine as the form of publication. 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: Letterpress on cheap magazine stock, with a woodcut block dropped straight into the text area.. Mood: Rebellion, Calm, Play, Futurism, Technology. 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.

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

# 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.
# - Ultraísmo: Angling type as a flourish over a conventional column: the angle came from setting language as an image, and without that reason it is styling only.
