# Neo-Geo × Op Art — composed image prompt
# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=neo-geo+op-art
# Neo-Geo carries the structure. Op Art 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 Neo-Geo (Style, 1984–1992) and its accent from Op Art (Style, 1960s–). Structural cues: Smooth surfaces of industrial paint; Fluorescent, artificial colour; The gloss and finish of ready-made goods; Compositions like schematic diagrams. Accent cues, used sparingly: High contrast; Repeated lines; Optical illusion; Geometric distortion. Composition: Diagrammatic panels and hard-edged cells; composition mimics circuit boards and signage. Type and lettering: Cold, engineered geometric sans, spaced like a diagram label. Let one material quality come from the second style: Black and white plus exactly one color. Mood: Rebellion, Futurism, Luxury, Exhilaration, Technology. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #f4f2ea, #171715, #e34b35. 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
# - Neo-Geo: Avoid sincere formalism—without the quotation marks around its geometry, Neo-Geo becomes exactly the tasteful abstraction it set out to critique.
# - Op Art: Never let the vibration reach the reading zone. Lower area and contrast on long-viewed screens.
