# Iranian Poster × Kufic — composed image prompt
# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=iranian-poster+kufic
# Iranian Poster carries the structure and Kufic 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 Iranian Poster (style, 1960s–) and their accent from Kufic (style, 8th century onward).

## What to make

Make the kind of thing Iranian Poster exists for: cultural event announcements that speak in metaphor rather than explanation, or setting Persian and Latin script as equals on one sheet. Choose one subject and hold it across all four.

## Structure comes from Iranian Poster

- Calligraphic line as form
- Poetic metaphor
- The compositional force of Persian script
- A restrained palette

Composition: A single image at the center with generous emptiness around it. Type and lettering: Turn one calligraphic stroke into the image and keep text small at the edge.

## Accent comes from Kufic, used sparingly

- Horizontals drawn long
- Short angular uprights
- Letters turning at right angles
- Lines massed into an even band

Let one material quality come from it: Cut into stone, brick and tile, and on parchment hold the stroke to an even weight with the reed pen.

## Colour and feeling

Build the ground on #ece6d1, carry the structure in #ac2c3d and #162638, and let a single accent come from #3b5398. These are read off real works, so a direction rather than a fixed palette.
Feeling to carry: calm, rebellion, luxury, trust.

## Where they fight

- Iranian Poster and Kufic stand roughly 1210 years apart. Keep one of them recognisably period rather than letting both drift into the middle.

## What goes wrong

- Iranian Poster: Piling metaphor on until every clue to the subject is gone leaves a sheet that never tells anyone what the event is.
- Kufic: Copying only the right angles while breaking the joins between letters leaves an ornamental band that no longer reads as a word.

## 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.
