Produce four original images in the visual language of Powell Peralta Deck Graphics, a style from Illustration Styles, 1980s.

## What to make

Make the kind of thing this style exists for: building an emblem that names who something belongs to and fills a tall surface, or putting an image on an object that wears down in use, where the meaning has to outlast the wear. Choose one subject and hold it across all four images.

## What has to be visible

- One emblem filling the underside of the deck
- The figure held symmetrically at the center
- Heavy black outline over flat color
- A heraldry built from bones and skulls

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: A symmetrical figure set on the tall center axis, one image filling the surface to its edges
- Type and lettering: The name drawn by hand at the stroke weight of the art and built into the emblem
- Material and surface: Flat color inside heavy black outline, printed in few screens, with knockouts of bare wood as part of the figure
- Colour: #f8d916 carries the ground, #bc3c09 is the colour the style is remembered by, #231008 holds text and outlines. Read off real works, so treat them as a direction rather than a fixed palette.
- What it should feel like: rebellion, play, exhilaration

## What goes wrong

Leaning into fine detail costs the emblem its reading the first time it grinds, so the more a board is ridden the less it names.

## 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.
