# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=psychedelic+solarization
# Psychedelic carries the structure. Solarization 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 Psychedelic (Style, 1960s–1970s) and its accent from Solarization (Technique, 19th century– / 1920s revival). Structural cues: Swirling curves; Complementary colors; Melting letters; Kaleidoscope patterns. Accent cues, used sparingly: Partial tone reversal; Glowing edges; Metallic feel; Darkroom manipulation. Composition: Radiate from the center; fill the margins. Type and lettering: Lettering that warps like liquid. Let one material quality come from the second style: Second exposure mid development, timed and logged, tested on the same paper. Mood: Exhilaration, Rebellion, Luxury, Futurism. Color: build on #ff7a1a, #f4e929, #7732b9 with a single accent drawn from #dedbd3, #8b7a75, #1c1b1b. 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 1941 years apart. Keep one of them recognisably period rather than letting both drift into the middle.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Psychedelic: Hostile to long text and critical controls. Reserve places for the eye to rest.
# - Solarization: Imitating it with a digital inversion flattens the tones evenly, loses the single edge that only the darkroom produces, and leaves a flat effect.
