# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=garden-city+naturalistic-planting
# Garden City carries the structure. Naturalistic Planting 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 Garden City (Layout, 1898–) and its accent from Naturalistic Planting (Style, 1990s–). Structural cues: Concentric diagrams; Separation by green belt; Planned population; Work near home. Accent cues, used sparingly: Perennial and grass communities; The beauty of dieback; Drifts of planting; Ecology as the model. Composition: Public buildings at the center, industry outside, housing and farmland between. Type and lettering: Draw the scheme as concentric rings, zone names and populations equal in size. Let one material quality come from the second style: A single cut in spring, seed heads and stems left standing. Mood: Calm, Trust, Futurism, Intimacy. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 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
# - Roughly 92 years apart. Keep one of them recognisably period rather than letting both drift into the middle.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Garden City: Borrowing only the concentric picture while dropping the green belt and the population ceiling leaves a leafy subdivision with no self-sufficiency left.
# - Naturalistic Planting: Copying the look by adding species lets the strongest grasses smother the rest by the second year, and the drift turns into weeds.
