# 1-Bit Icon Design (1ビットアイコン) — image generation prompt # IndexStyle No.534 — https://indexstyle.org/styles/one-bit-icon # Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work. An original image in the visual language of 1-Bit Icon Design (Technique, UI Expression, 1982–1990s). Visual cues: Two values only, black and white, with gray standing in as a checkerboard of alternating dots; A one pixel outline closing each shape, and an interior that is either solid or dotted, never shaded; Ordinary objects, scissors, a bin, a sheet of paper, standing in as the names of commands; Visible traces of one dot placed per grid square, so diagonals break into steps. Composition: Rule the grid first and draw with one square standing for one pixel. Close the outline before deciding the interior, and leave one square of clearance inside the frame.. Type and lettering: Keep letters out of the picture and put the label on a separate line outside it. Any type alongside sits on the same bitmap grid, with no italics and no ornament.. Material feel: Two colours only, black and white. When a middle brightness is needed, build it by thinning the dots into a checkerboard rather than introducing gray. Leave diagonals as steps and do not smooth them.. Mood: Intimacy, Play, Technology. Color cues: #000000, #FFFFFF, #808080. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition that follows the general period style described above. Full design spec: https://indexstyle.org/styles/one-bit-icon/design.md
