# De Stijl × Unism — composed image prompt # IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=de-stijl+unism # De Stijl carries the structure. Unism 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 De Stijl (Style, 1917–1931) and its accent from Unism (Style, 1923–1936). Structural cues: Vertical and horizontal; Red, blue, yellow; White planes; Asymmetric equilibrium. Accent cues, used sparingly: Elimination of centre and contrast; Colour surfaces continuing equally to the edge; Erasure of the figure-ground hierarchy; All-over fields built from minute differences. Composition: Divide the plane with orthogonals; shift the weight off center. Type and lettering: A rectilinear sans; treat letters as rectangles too. Let one material quality come from the second style: Close-valued hues in matte, even surfaces—differences of a few steps at most. Mood: Trust, Calm, Technology. Color: build on #f2efe2, #d53225, #1f4b93 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 Geometric Abstraction, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable. # Cautions carried from each entry # - De Stijl: Not just red-blue-yellow squares. Design the ratios and the asymmetric balance. # - Unism: Avoid introducing any focal accent; one emphasised element restores the hierarchy Unism exists to abolish. # Design specs: https://indexstyle.org/styles/de-stijl/design.md · https://indexstyle.org/styles/unism/design.md
