# Riot Grrrl Zine (ライオット・ガール・ジン) — image generation prompt
# IndexStyle No.116 — https://indexstyle.org/styles/riot-grrrl-zine
# Style descriptors only. This prompt names no artist, studio, brand or work.

Produce four original images in the visual language of Riot Grrrl Zine, a style from Publishing and Editing, 1990s.

## What to make

Make the kind of thing this style exists for: writers inside a punk scene setting down what happened to them in the first person and handing it out themselves, or claims no commercial magazine will carry, put into manifestos and calls to action and passed out at shows. Choose one subject and hold it across all four images.

## What has to be visible

- Handwriting mixed with typewriting
- Shadows along the pasted edges
- Crushed blacks and coarse grain
- Pages copied while still crooked

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: Treat the spread as one sheet and favor filling it over leaving margin
- Type and lettering: Write the declarations in large capitals by hand and paste the rest in as typed pages
- Material and surface: Coarse photocopy tone, staple binding, the shadows of cut edges left in
- Colour: #ece8dd carries the ground, #c9403b is the colour the style is remembered by, #171615 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, intimacy, play

## What goes wrong

Copying the coarse photocopy look alone gets nowhere without the writing itself, in which the maker gives a name and speaks in the first person.

## 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.
