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 Ghanaian Movie Poster: One chosen spectacle at the center, the rest pushed past the edge
- Type
- Set in Ghanaian Movie Poster's manner (Titles sized letter by letter, lifted off the surface with outline and shadow), and let Naïve's lettering (Handwriting, homely serifs) appear only where you want the eye to catch.
- Material
- Ground in Ghanaian Movie Poster's material (Enamel laid thick on sewn sacking, creases and seams left showing); bring in exactly one thing from Naïve (Crayon, paint, paper, slightly muddied color).
- Colour
- Build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 and admit one accent from #eadfbd, #d85e45, #557553.
Where they fight
These two are already listed as related, so the join should come easily.
Caution
- Ghanaian Movie Poster Borrowing the exaggeration for laughs alone erases the exhibition need that produced it, and the picture ends up mocking somebody else's living.
- Naïve Not an act of deliberate badness. Draw your own line from close observation.

Type and lettering: Titles sized letter by letter, lifted off the surface with outline and shadow. Let one material quality come from the second style: Crayon, paint, paper, slightly muddied color. Mood: Play, Rebellion, Exhilaration, Intimacy, Calm. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #eadfbd, #d85e45, #557553.
