# Czech Film Poster carries the structure. Editorial Collage 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 Czech Film Poster (Style, 1950s–1980s) and its accent from Editorial Collage (Technique, contemporary). Structural cues: Surreal collage; Drawn letters; Symbols; Transformed photography. Accent cues, used sparingly: Cut-out photographs; Mixed scales; Collision with white space; Annotations. Composition: Join fragments at different scales so the eye gathers on one symbol. Type and lettering: Drawn titles stretched or crushed with the same distortion as the image. Let one material quality come from the second style: Photos, scraps, hand-drawn lines; leave the cut edges visible. Mood: Rebellion, Play, Nostalgia, Exhilaration. Color: build on #d8c9ae, #7c4e75, #26353f with a single accent drawn from #ede6d8, #e4462f, #22201d. 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
# - Czech Film Poster: The more strange combinations you add, the more the focus scatters, until neither the film nor your reading of it comes across.
# - Editorial Collage: Don't just add material. Be able to say what every fragment means.
