"canvas": "4:5 portrait, pure white #FFFFFF, edge to edge, no texture and no cast shadow on the field",
"color": {
"word_top": "ink black #0A0A0A",
"word_bottom": "electric blue #1E3CFF",
"accent": "signal red #E8231C — appears only inside the photographed subject",
"fringe": "a soft lime-yellow bloom bleeding 4–8px off the letter edges, like a misregistered fifth plate",
"rule": "black, blue, white. Red is allowed only as a physical color in the object."
},
"typography": {
"structure": "exactly two words, one per line, stacked and centered; the top word black, the bottom word blue",
"letterforms": "very heavy hand-cut sans — torn or brush-trimmed contours, irregular stroke widths, slightly drifting baselines; never a clean digital face",
"scale": "each word spans nearly the full width and may be cropped by the frame edges",
"caption": "one line of tiny monospaced caps in a corner — a session name and a number, slash-separated",
"glyph": "one small line-art mark in the opposite corner: boxed waveform / wheel / crop-mark plus / leaf in a circle",
"consistency": "caption and glyph must occupy the SAME two corners on every poster in a set"
},
"photography": {
"subject": "one hero object shot on white with hard directional light, or one tight crop of a body part wearing the object",
"placement": "the subject lands in the middle band so it occludes the bottom of the top word and the top of the bottom word",
"quality": "high-key, crisp, saturated; visible material — leather grain, knit rib, glass coating, leaf sheen",
"styling": "the object must carry red and/or blue on it so the photograph and the type share a palette"
},
"design_rules": [
"the two words are always readable as a phrase, never a single word split",
"the subject must overlap BOTH words — floating clear of the type kills it",
"no drop shadows anywhere; the subject sits on the white as a clean cutout",
"one caption, one glyph, nothing else on the field"
],
"swap_variables": {
"subject": "red headphones on a shaved head / blue roller skate and striped sock / silver rangefinder with blue strap / monstera in a cobalt pot",
