Style prompt

Use bold limited-color screenprint graphics with strong black outlines, cream tonal planes, saturated vermilion red, and restrained gray. Translate light into hard-edged blocks, coarse hatching, and distressed ink rather than smooth gradients. Surround a sharply cropped focal silhouette with dense ornamental curves, floral motifs, or repeating linework, keeping the face or central form legible. Let paper grain and slight print wear remain visible. The mood is direct, iconic, and richly patterned.

Full example prompt

A square screenprint-like poster presents the head and shoulders of a young woman in a three-quarter upward turn against a saturated red ornamental background. Her dark hair is pulled into a low bun at the left, with smooth black strands sweeping over the crown. The cream face is sharply simplified into flat planes of ivory, gray, and black. One eye is fully visible under a bold black brow; the other turns toward the far right edge. Her lips are parted slightly, and the lifted chin gives the pose a firm, watchful quality. A small circular earring punctuates the ear. Across the lower left, a large crimson rose overlaps the black collar, while smaller petals and leaf-like scrolls curl around the right side and top corners. The background contains intricate red-on-red flourishes, small line textures, and dark organic silhouettes. The figure's coat or high-neck garment is nearly solid black, providing a heavy base beneath the pale face. Hard graphic light appears to strike from the upper left, but the image translates it into abrupt color separations rather than soft shading. Thin hatch marks and distressed ink specks break the solid red and cream fields, giving the poster a printed, slightly weathered surface. There is no visible text. The portrait is cropped close and set slightly left of center, balancing the large rose against the head's upward diagonal. The overall composition is declarative and decorative, built from limited color, assertive outlines, and repeated floral curves.
