+
+Bold poster art with limited colors, halftone textures, and symbolic storytelling
+
+## Design Aesthetic
+
+Screen print / silkscreen aesthetic inspired by Mondo limited-edition posters and vintage concert prints. Flat color blocks, halftone dot patterns, bold silhouettes, and deliberate print imperfections. Conceptual and symbolic rather than literal — one iconic image tells the whole story. Perfect for opinion pieces, cultural commentary, and editorial content.
+
+## Background
+
+- Color: Off-Black (#121212) or Warm Cream (#F5E6D0)
+- Texture: Paper grain with subtle halftone dot overlay
+
+## Color Palette
+
+| Role | Color | Hex | Usage |
+|------|-------|-----|-------|
+| Background | Off-Black | #121212 | Dark compositions |
+| Background Alt | Warm Cream | #F5E6D0 | Light compositions |
+| Primary | Burnt Orange | #E8751A | Main accent |
+| Secondary | Deep Teal | #0A6E6E | Contrast accent |
+| Tertiary | Crimson | #C0392B | Bold emphasis |
+| Highlight | Amber | #F4A623 | Small accents |
+| Text | Cream White | #FAF3E0 | On dark backgrounds |
+
+**Duotone Pairs** (choose ONE pair for high-impact compositions):
+
+| Pair | Color A | Color B | Feel |
+|------|---------|---------|------|
+| Orange + Teal | #E8751A | #0A6E6E | Cinematic, action |
+| Red + Cream | #C0392B | #F5E6D0 | Bold, classic |
+| Blue + Gold | #1A3A5C | #D4A843 | Prestigious, premium |
+| Crimson + Navy | #DC143C | #0D1B2A | Dramatic, noir |
+
+**Rule**: Use 2-5 colors maximum. Fewer colors = stronger impact.
+
+## Visual Elements
+
+- Bold silhouettes and symbolic shapes
+- Halftone dot patterns within color fills
+- Slight color layer misregistration (print offset effect)
+- Geometric framing (circles, arches, triangles)
+- Figure-ground inversion (negative space forms secondary image)
+- Stencil-cut edges, no outlines — shapes defined by color boundaries
+- Typography integrated as design element, not overlay
+- Vintage poster border treatments
+
+## Style Rules
+
+### Do
+
+- Limit to 2-5 flat colors
+- Use bold silhouettes over detailed rendering
+- Let negative space tell part of the story
+- Add halftone texture for authenticity
+- Use geometric composition (centered, symmetrical)
+- Reference vintage decades (60s/70s/80s) for era feel
+
+### Don't
+
+- Use photorealistic rendering or gradients
+- Add complex facial details (silhouettes preferred)
+- Mix too many visual elements (one focal point)
+- Use modern digital aesthetic
+- Create busy or cluttered compositions
+- Use more than 5 colors
+
+## Best For
+
+Opinion/editorial articles, cultural commentary, philosophy and strategy, dramatic narratives, cinematic storytelling, music and entertainment, event announcements, bold branding content
