Compose two styles
Rather than blending two styles into a middle, this assigns them roles: one carries the structure, the other appears as an accent. Where the two fight, it says so before you start.
How to divide the work
- Composition
- Follow Angura Poster: One image at the center, the surround packed with detail and no white left
- Type
- Set in Angura Poster's manner (Mincho, sign lettering and Latin colliding on one surface, alignment broken on purpose), and let Provoke's lettering (Type struck over the image and cropped, explanatory captions removed) appear only where you want the eye to catch.
- Material
- Ground in Angura Poster's material (Silkscreen including fluorescents, with metallics and spot colors overlaid); bring in exactly one thing from Provoke (Pushed grain and crushed black, tone thrown away in exposure and development).
- Colour
- Build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 and admit one accent from #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615.
Where they fight
These two are already listed as related, so the join should come easily.
Caution
- Angura Poster Merely piling quotations turns excess into clutter and buries the title and dates the bill exists to announce.
- Provoke Adding blur and grain afterward as an effect leaves pictures that are merely rough, because nothing changed in how they were taken.

Accent cues, used sparingly: Rough grain (are); Blur and defocus affirmed; High-contrast black; Fragmentary framing. Composition: One image at the center, the surround packed with detail and no white left. Type and lettering: Mincho, sign lettering and Latin colliding on one surface, alignment broken on purpose. Let one material quality come from the second style: Pushed grain and crushed black, tone thrown away in exposure and development. Mood: Rebellion, Exhilaration, Nostalgia, Calm. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 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.

Yokoo Tadanori and his peers printed the posters for Situation Theatre and Tenjō Sajiki. Ukiyo-e, kitsch and psychedelia collide there in an excess that the world discovered as a revolt against modernism.

The magazine Provoke called itself provocative materials for thought. Working through are-bure-boke, coarse grain and blur and lost focus, it stripped photography of tidy meaning and gave seeing back its rawness.
