# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=scanimate+synthwave

# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Scanimate (Technique, 1969–1980s) and its accent from Synthwave (Style, 1980s imagined future). Structural cues: Glowing outlines; Electronic undulation; Rainbow glow; Scanline texture. Accent cues, used sparingly: Neon; Perspective grid; Sunset; Black sky. Composition: One element on black, stretched from far to near. Type and lettering: Heavy single letters lit from inside their own outline. Let one material quality come from the second style: Black, magenta, cyan, glow. Mood: Technology, Nostalgia, Exhilaration, Futurism. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #100b2f, #ff2ca7, #24d9ff. 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
# - Scanimate: Layering glow and scanlines on top while the undulation itself still moves with the smooth interpolation of today's tools.
# - Synthwave: Sun and grid alone are overfamiliar. Add story elements of your own.
