Compose styles
Rather than blending styles toward a middle, this gives them roles. The first one carries the structure, the next comes in as the accent, and anything after that shows up in a single detail. Where they fight each other, it says so before you start.
How to divide the work
- Composition
- Follow Cyberpunk: Stack information densely on dark planes
- Type
- Set in Cyberpunk's manner (Angular sans, monospace, multiple scripts), and let Metalheart's lettering (Extrude the letters, bevel them deep, and bake in mirror reflections) appear only where you want the eye to catch.
- Material
- Ground in Cyberpunk's material (Black, teal, red neon, raindrops); bring in exactly one thing from Metalheart (Chrome, liquid metal, lens flare, reflections carrying surrounding color).
- Colour
- Build on #091b21, #05b7b2, #f04445 and admit one accent from #e2e9ef, #7f96a8, #0d1117.
Where they fight
These are already listed as related entries, so the join should come easily.
Caution
- Cyberpunk Don't use Asian cities as a symbol of otherness. Make the fictional social order concrete.
- Metalheart Polishing it clean in current software removes the rawness that came from the crude renderers of the time, and it becomes something else.
