Prompt template

{subject}, in the style of Kazami: a documentary photograph reproduced as a high-contrast risograph print, built from a single coarse black halftone photo-plate with a visible dot screen, deep blacks and gritty photographic grain, overprinted with one offset leaf-green spot-ink plate sitting slightly off-register and a second translucent sky-blue plate drifting a few pixels off-register to read as wind and motion, {palette}, faint paper-fibre grain and the off-white tooth of uncoated stock showing through, atmospheric and layered, printed and tactile, full-bleed composition filling the frame edge to edge

Slot recipes

hero — The dominant subject filling the frame as a full-bleed risograph halftone photograph: coarse black dot-screen photo-plate, one offset leaf-green spot plate and a translucent sky-blue plate drifting off-register so the whole image reads as caught in wind; deep photographic atmosphere, paper tooth showing through, no whitespace.

feature — A tight documentary crop of the subject as a two-plate risograph overprint, black halftone with a leaf-green spot accent and a sky-blue plate a few pixels off-register; gritty grain, tactile printed feel, fills the frame.

avatar — A single face or object as a close documentary risograph portrait, coarse halftone dots across skin and shadow, one green spot plate and a faint off-register sky-blue drift; centered, fills the frame, atmospheric not flat.

empty-state — A near-empty expanse of off-white uncoated paper tooth with a faint coarse halftone texture and one small leaf-green spot mark drifting slightly off-register, a single sky-blue smear suggesting wind across an unprinted sheet.

illustration — A layered documentary scene of the subject built from a black halftone plate, a leaf-green spot plate and a translucent sky-blue plate all slightly off-register, streaking and doubling at the edges to read as wind and motion; printed, grainy, atmospheric, edge to edge.

A generated style is an aggregate of many influences — credit is given to the artists and traditions it draws on, not a claim of authorship.

produced by unrecorded · sourced by unrecorded · images by unrecorded

· Build every image from one coarse black halftone photo-plate of a real documentary photograph, keeping visible dot screen, deep blacks and gritty grain.
· Overprint exactly one leaf-green spot plate and one translucent sky-blue plate, and let the sky-blue plate sit a few pixels off-register so motion and wind read as misregistration, never as a painted effect.
· Let the off-white tooth and fibre of uncoated paper show through everywhere, so the result feels printed and tactile rather than rendered.

Don't

· Do not flatten into clean vector art, a silhouette, or loud saturated cartoon color; this is an atmospheric printed photograph.
· Do not register the plates perfectly or remove the grain; the slight drift and the paper texture are the whole point.
· Do not add gradients, glow, drop shadows, decorative ornament, empty margins, or any text and logos.
