# Punk × Situationist Graphics — composed image prompt
# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=punk+situationist-graphics
# Punk carries the structure. Situationist Graphics 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 Punk (Style, 1970s–1980s) and its accent from Situationist Graphics (Layout, 1957–1972). Structural cues: Cut-and-paste letters; Photocopier noise; Handwriting; Ragged placement. Accent cues, used sparingly: Appropriated images with replaced text; Comic panels and speech balloons; Long theoretical captions; The grain of rough reproduction. Composition: Deliberate misalignment and overlap; disturb even the margins. Type and lettering: Mix newsprint letters, handwriting and stamps. Let one material quality come from the second style: Degraded photocopy halftones on cheap paper, short runs, at most one crude spot colour. Mood: Rebellion, Exhilaration. Color: build on #eee3cf, #ef3127, #10100f with a single accent drawn from #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615. 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.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Punk: Borrowed rebellion is hollow. Decide what you are protesting first.
# - Situationist Graphics: If the reader does not know whose claim the original image makes, the inversion fails and it reads as random collage. Polishing the production restores the authority the détournement should betray.
