# Punk × Skate Graphics — composed image prompt
# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=punk+skate-graphics
# Punk carries the structure. Skate 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 Skate Graphics (Style, 1980s–). Structural cues: Cut-and-paste letters; Photocopier noise; Handwriting; Ragged placement. Accent cues, used sparingly: Tall deck-bottom composition; Bold-outlined characters; Horror mixed with humor; Grace about being worn away. 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: A few screen colors overlaid, with knockouts letting the wood show through. Mood: Rebellion, Exhilaration, Play. 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.
# - Skate Graphics: Leaning on fine detail loses the image the first time it grinds, so the more a board is ridden the less it is worth.
