# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=lithography+plakatstil
# Lithography carries the structure. Plakatstil / Sachplakat 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 Lithography (Technique, 1796–) and its accent from Plakatstil / Sachplakat (Style, 1900s–1910s). Structural cues: Greasy crayon; Stone or metal plate; Painterly tone; Multicolor overprinting. Accent cues, used sparingly: A single product image; Bold contours; Flat color; A short brand name. Composition: Split areas and lines between plates, planning for colors to overprint. Type and lettering: Draw the lettering onto the stone by hand instead of setting type. Let one material quality come from the second style: Two to four colors, shadowless imagery, clean contours. Mood: Intimacy, Luxury, Nostalgia, Trust, Exhilaration. Color: build on #eadfca, #a24f3e, #373334 with a single accent drawn from #161515, #d39a29, #efe0bf. 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 104 years apart. Keep one of them recognisably period rather than letting both drift into the middle.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Lithography: Pencil texture is not it, and neglecting density control crushes the tone into a merely blurred image. Learn how oil against water, the stone, damping, the roller and overprinted plates shape line and color.
# - Plakatstil / Sachplakat: Simplification is not omission. Choose the one thing to keep from what makes the product itself.
