ART DIRECTION
Interpret the supplied event in Brazilian Tropicália style.
Visual vocabulary: tropical imagery — parrots, jungle, carnival — made psychedelic; collage combining photography, colour fields, and drawn elements; bold colour blocks with vibrant clashing combinations; geometric Concretist elements alongside organic tropical forms; pop culture references subverted or celebrated simultaneously.
Lettering direction: bold graphic lettering mixing Portuguese and visual-music aesthetics; type as a visual element within the collage; occasional Art Nouveau-influenced lettering for ironic contrast.
Suggested colors: tropical vivid — hot pink, lime green, orange, turquoise, yellow, deep violet.
Composition: collage logic — no single reading order; elements crowd and overlap.
Atmosphere: psychedelic, political, carnivalesque, syncretic, joyfully subversive.
Keep out of the design: pure European graphic design without Brazilian synthesis, austere minimalism, artificial yellowing or ageing.
Apply the visual language to the supplied event; do not invent historical affiliations, endorsements, or extra copy.
