Full style rules
Style anchors
- [CORE] A monumental photographic image rendered in coarse high-contrast black-and-white halftone forms the dominant visual field, with recognizable silhouette and intentional cropped scale.
- [CORE] A small set of crisp full-color photographic fragments contrasts with the monochrome image; fragments reveal, reconnect or interrupt the main subject rather than acting as unrelated decorations.
- [CORE] Heavy graphic display type and restrained editorial text contrast with sparse hand-drawn annotations; readable hierarchy remains clear amid image overlap.
- [FLEX] Recompose the visual field for each theme: placement, image-window geometry, fragment count and negative-space rhythm are open, while retaining monochrome dominance and selective color.
- [FLEX] Choose theme-led accent colors and photo lighting; preserve clean tonal separation, with no automatic beige aging or compulsory reference red.
- [FLEX] Display type can anchor an edge, cross a silhouette or enter a split; keep the full required title readable, without repeating the source masthead arrangement.
- [FLEX] Use a few meaningful marks such as gesture arcs, cut lines or underlines where they connect to the subject; exact handwriting, stars and source decorations are not mandatory.
Do
- Design meaningful connections between image fragments and the dominant image.
- Keep contrast between coarse monochrome reproduction and crisp color photography.
- Adapt the composition separately for portrait and landscape.
Avoid
- Source celebrity identity, source brands and fan-biography content.
- One repeated rectangular-window template with only text and subjects replaced.
- Global vintage yellowing, uniform distress, fake paper mockup shadows and decorative clutter.
Negative prompt
No source brand or identity, watermarks, mockup frame, beige aging, all-over coarse paper grain, unreadable required title, duplicated limbs, irrelevant stickers, random contact-sheet grid or identical layout across cases.
