The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the prompt updates.

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.
