Weathered poster campaign with four classic book covers
A gritty 2x2 grid of public domain book covers plastered on a decaying wall, each with torn edges and faded ink.
Prompt
2x2 grid, 16:9, pick 4 non-copyrighted, public domain books for this: INPUT: $ SUBJECT // Semantic inference layer SYMBOL = infer_central_symbol($ SUBJECT) // metaphorical emblem, not literal TENSION = infer_central_tension($ SUBJECT) // warning / conflict / obsession SLOGAN = infer_short_slogan($ SUBJECT) // 3–6 short stacked lines ANCHOR = infer_typographic_anchor($ SUBJECT) // YEAR, NUMBER, NAME, CODE, EVENT // Build a rough print field Φ over the poster surface Φ = poster_structure(landscape=3:2) F = ∇Φ // main ink flow, street paste direction Curl = ∇×Φ // torn edges, paper curling, overlapping fragments Div = ∇·F // areas of ink loss, grime, and material wear // CENTRAL ICONOGRAPHY: // - SYMBOL occupies upper-middle 45–60% of frame // - thick black contour work, rough stencil edges // - red graphic shadows and angular overlays // - cream negative-space areas // - coarse screenprint texture // - visible registration imperfections // - slightly aggressive, confrontational presence // TYPOGRAPHY: // - massive anchor text across lower third, overlapping symbol // - enormous condensed industrial lettering, imperfect edges // - off-white/dirty cream against black // - subtle erosion, ink loss, scratches, paper showing through // - closely spaced, partially obscured by tears/grime // SIDE SLOGAN: // - narrow vertical text zone, stacked 3–6 lines // - uppercase, condensed sans-serif, black ink, tight leading // - blunt and declarative // MATERIAL / SURFACE: // - dirty warm off-white plaster background // - cracked masonry, chipped paint, uneven gray staining // - faded adhesive marks, old poster residue // - overlapping paper fragments, ripped vertical seams // - torn irregular borders, curled edges, creases, wrinkles // - abrasion, scratches, rubbed-off ink // - fragments of older red/black posters showing beneath // COLOR SYSTEM: // - 70% dirty cream/faded plaster white // - 20% deep charcoal/near-black // - 10% oxidized revolutionary red // - small gray/brown contamination from age // PRINT LANGUAGE: // - hybrid screenprint / linocut / woodblock / photocopied flyer // - coarse halftone, misregistered ink, broken solid fills // - rough ink trapping, paper fiber, toner grain, bleeding edges // LIGHTING: // - flat frontal graphic, minimal perspective // - depth only from tears, folds, paper thickness, small cast shadows // - no cinematic DOF, no glossy 3D, no studio lighting // EMOTIONAL CHARACTER: // - forbidden, public, confrontational, watchful, ideological, urgent // - surviving fragment of a much larger campaign Render one 3:2 landscape poster, 8K, physically plausible and historically weathered.
