Four Textures, One Frame

Four Textures, One Frame

Produce ONE image: a loud flat-vector event poster in the Memphis manner. Follow every line below. Replace only the FIELDS block; everything after it is fixed.

First — do you have the fields?

If any field below still has braces around it, stop and ask. Put all the questions in one short message, and show the example under each one so they can see the shape of a useful answer. Wait for the replies, then draw. Never fill a brace yourself: a value you invented is a value nobody asked for, and it will look exactly as considered as the ones they did give you.

Ask in whatever language they are writing to you in. Translate the questions and the examples; do not make someone read English to tell you what they want.

The examples are only examples. If someone answers a question, use their answer; never fall back to the example because you prefer it.

If the fields are already filled in, ignore this and carry on.

Fields — replace these seven lines only

• The event: {what this is for} e.g. Vibary's build market
• The title: {two or three words, all caps} e.g. SHIP IT DAY
• The subtitle: {one short line} e.g. one Saturday · twenty benches · everything you make is yours
• The border phrase: {two or three words, repeated} e.g. MADE BY DESCRIBING
• The figures: {two or three people, mid-interaction} e.g. two people at a shared bench, one passing a glowing panel across to the other who reaches out with both hands
• The props: {three or four objects} e.g. a laptop, a stack of printed cards, a mug, a rolled poster
• The ground, the brights, and the big letter: {one deep colour · three brights · one capital} e.g. deep indigo ground · ochre, coral and mint as the brights · the big letter is a V

The texture law

This style runs on geometric fill — dots, diagonal stripes, triangle arrays, diamond grids — and templates in it list all four and let them land anywhere. Four textures scattered across every element is the reason these posters read as noise: nothing is distinguishable because everything is patterned.

Each texture belongs to exactly one class of element, and appears nowhere else:

• Dots — the figures, and only the figures.
• Diagonal stripes — the props, and only the props.
• Diamond grid — the floor, and only the floor.
• Triangle arrays — the border and corner marks, and nothing else.

A texture on two kinds of thing is the failure. Check the finished poster by picking one pattern and finding every instance: they should all be the same kind of object.

Flat colour is always allowed anywhere. The restriction is on pattern, not on fill.

The frame

• Vertical. A deep saturated ground to all four edges.
• Both side margins carry the border phrase, set small, in caps, repeating down the full height in one of the brights. This is the frame — there is no drawn border, no rule, no box.
• Short diagonal hatch marks sit at the four corners, in the triangle-array texture.

The title

• Across the top, in geometric caps, cut and offset — letters shifted up or down from the baseline, some sliced through, as one shape treated once. Not decorated letter by letter.
• Two or three tiny icons from the event's own world are set into the gaps the offsetting creates.
• The subtitle sits directly beneath in small white sans, one line, and a row of small triangles closes the title block.

The figures

• Occupying the middle sixty per cent: two or three people caught mid-interaction — passing something, reaching, leaning toward each other. Never a row of people standing.
• Bodies built from flat geometric blocks: rectangles, wedges, circles for heads. No modelling, no gradient, no shading.
• Dots fill parts of them, per the texture law.

The props and the floor

• The props flank the figures, drawn in the same flat blocks, filled with diagonal stripes.
• The base of the poster is a floor in diamond grid, with the big letter — one capital from the event's name — laid across it in a bright, large and flat.
• One sticker in the lower corner: a small grinning face with a short line of text beside it.

The drawing

• A heavy black outline on everything, at one consistent weight, including the type where it sits on colour.
• Flat fills only. No real light, no shadow, no gradient, no three-dimensional rendering anywhere.
• Three brights against the deep ground, no more.

Never

• ✕ a texture appearing on two classes of element
• ✕ a fifth texture, or a fourth bright colour
• ✕ gradients, soft shadows, glows, 3D, photographic elements
• ✕ figures standing in a row rather than interacting
• ✕ a drawn border or box — the repeating phrase is the frame
• ✕ outline weights that vary between elements

The result

A poster that is loud and still legible: four patterns each doing one job, a frame made of a sentence, and a pair of figures actually handing something to each other in the middle of the noise.
