# PatternFly (PatternFly) — image generation prompt
# IndexStyle No.566 — https://indexstyle.org/styles/patternfly
# Style descriptors only. This prompt names no artist, studio, brand or work.

Produce four original images in the visual language of PatternFly, a style from Platform Screen Languages, 2012–.

## What to make

Make the kind of thing this style exists for: administration products for cloud, containers and networks, or giving a suite of enterprise products one density, navigation and status language. Choose one subject and hold it across all four images.

## What has to be visible

- Dark masthead and left navigation
- Dense tables and forms on white or pale-gray work surfaces
- Blue for primary action and red, orange or green for status
- List, detail and action shown in coordinated panes

Someone who knows this style should be able to point at each of these in the finished image.

## How to build it

- Layout and structure: Separate dark shell, left navigation, work surface and an on-demand detail pane
- Type and lettering: Keep headings, body and table labels to a small hierarchy; distinguish values and code with monospace
- Material and surface: Use white and pale gray broadly, blue for action and saturated color only for alerts and status
- Colour: #FFFFFF carries the ground, #0066CC is the colour the style is remembered by, #151515 holds text and outlines. Read off real works, so treat them as a direction rather than a fixed palette.
- What it should feel like: technique, trust, calm

## What goes wrong

Packing cards and tables together is not enough. Make current location and the priority of abnormal states obvious first.

## Across the four

Keep every cue above present in all four. Vary the framing, the scale and the arrangement so the set shows the range this style covers rather than four versions of one picture.

## Constraints

- Do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work.
- Do not reproduce the composition of an existing work.
- Produce original compositions in the general period language described above.
