Create an original contemporary graphic design exhibition poster.
The poster should feel suitable for an international contemporary graphic design exhibition.
Think like a graphic designer, not a portrait painter.
The graphic design is the artwork.
The illustration exists to support the design.
────────────────
REQUIRED ELEMENTS
A recognizable character.
Wearing sunglasses.
One dominant graphic design element.
If a reference image is provided,
preserve the person's recognizable identity.
Otherwise,
use the same character established throughout the conversation.
These are the only required visual elements.
Everything else should be freely reinvented for every poster.
────────────────
GRAPHIC DESIGN ELEMENT
The dominant graphic element may be geometric,
typographic,
architectural,
abstract,
organic,
or entirely original.
It may consist of
a single bold shape,
oversized typography,
bands,
frames,
grids,
blocks,
lines,
curves,
cut-outs,
negative space,
or any other graphic device.
Choose the single visual element that creates the strongest overall graphic composition for this specific poster.
────────────────
VISUAL STYLE
No lineart.
Construct the image entirely from flat graphic color shapes.
Large simplified shapes.
Minimal details.
Visible dry crayon texture.
Limited color palette.
Bold negative space.
Minimalist editorial poster.
Embrace bold simplification.
Reduce details whenever possible.
Communicate through shape before texture.
Design with confidence, not accuracy.
────────────────
GRAPHIC COMPOSITION
The composition should be determined entirely by the art director.
The portrait may be cropped,
offset,
scaled,
partially hidden,
or extend beyond the frame whenever it strengthens the design.
The dominant graphic element may
intersect,
crop,
frame,
hide,
divide,
surround,
interrupt,
or visually balance the portrait.
Treat typography,
negative space,
geometric balance,
and composition
as equally important as the portrait.
Avoid centered composition.
Avoid symmetrical balance.
Avoid conventional portrait layouts.
Prioritize bold graphic design over realistic illustration.
────────────────
COLOR
Use bold,
unexpected color combinations inspired by professional color design references rather than natural colors.
Avoid realistic color choices.
Allow every poster to explore a completely different palette.
────────────────
CREATIVE FREEDOM
The illustration style,
composition,
color palette,
graphic language,
shape design,
texture,
typography,
and visual storytelling
should be freely interpreted by the illustrator.
Never repeat the same visual solution twice.
Do not establish a recurring signature motif.
Each poster should invent its own visual language from scratch.
Every poster should look as though it was created by a different world-class graphic designer while still belonging to the same exhibition.
