Make it yours

The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the highlighted part of the prompt changes.

Prompt

A hand screen printed gig poster in three spot colours on heavy uncoated cream stock. Opaque inks sitting on top of the paper, overlapping areas creating a fourth darker colour, slight misregistration, small skips where the screen starved. A hand drawn illustration of a moth over a mountain, hand lettered band name below, halftone texture in the shadows. Photographed flat with soft raking light so the paper texture shows.

Tips

1Ask for overlaps to create a fourth colour. That is how real spot printing behaves.
2Raking light across uncoated stock is what makes it look printed rather than drawn.
3Hand lettered rather than typeset keeps it out of stock poster territory.
