# GitHub Primer × Swiss — composed image prompt
# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=github-primer+swiss
# GitHub Primer carries the structure and Swiss appears as the accent.
# Style descriptors only. This prompt names no artist, studio, brand or work.

Produce four original images that take their structure from GitHub Primer (style, 2017–) and their accent from Swiss (style, 1950s–).

## What to make

Make the kind of thing GitHub Primer exists for: developer SaaS and admin tools that must hold many states and actions on one screen, or keeping information density and accessibility consistent across product teams. Choose one subject and hold it across all four.

## Structure comes from GitHub Primer

- Neutral surfaces with blue links and restrained status colors
- Octicons paired with short action labels
- Thin borders separating lists, tabs and sidebars
- Consistent steps of type and spacing even at high density

Composition: Separate lists, tabs and sidebars with fine rules and hold spacing to a small token set. Type and lettering: Use one plain sans for body and labels; build hierarchy through weight and color.

## Accent comes from Swiss, used sparingly

- Strict grid
- Sans-serif type
- Asymmetry
- Objective photography

Let one material quality come from it: White space and objective photographs; almost no ornament.

## Colour and feeling

Build the ground on #F6F8FA, carry the structure in #0969DA and #24292F, and let a single accent come from #ed3b22. These are read off real works, so a direction rather than a fixed palette.
Feeling to carry: technique, trust, calm.

## What goes wrong

- GitHub Primer: Adding borders and tiny controls to look like GitHub only creates a cramped admin screen when the work has no clear priority.
- Swiss: Too much tidiness turns anonymous. Keep one strong jump in scale.

## Across the four

Keep the roles fixed in all four. Vary the framing, the scale and the arrangement so the set shows what this pairing can do rather than four versions of one picture.

## Constraints

- Do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work.
- Do not reproduce the composition of an existing work.
- Produce original compositions in the general period languages described above.
