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 Future Funk: Layer figures, city and type rhythmically
- Type
- Set in Future Funk's manner (Bold Japanese gothic plus Latin script accents), and let 70’s Retro's lettering (Round, heavy display type) appear only where you want the eye to catch.
- Material
- Ground in Future Funk's material (Pink, blue, yellow, VHS grain); bring in exactly one thing from 70’s Retro (Orange, ochre, dark brown; a touch of print misregistration).
- Colour
- Build on #24388f, #f04c9c, #ffd33d and admit one accent from #e9c768, #dd6a2f, #5f3426.
Where they fight
These two are already listed as related, so the join should come easily.
Caution
- Future Funk Avoid unlicensed anime frames and surface-level consumption of the culture; clear the rights.
- 70’s Retro Making everything retro becomes a costume. Keep body text and controls contemporary.
