A good fit for

Orchestral and choral concerts, decorative arts exhibitions, and candlelit winter walks.

A little art direction

Give the event name room in an ornamental band; it will be set in tall capitals, so keep it under five words. In the illustration notes ask for a single figure or object to sit inside the frame.

POSTER TEXT
Use the following event information exactly as written. The labels before each colon are for you, not for the poster; print only the text after them. Do not invent extra event details.


ART DIRECTION
Interpret the supplied brief in Vienna Secession style.
Visual vocabulary: rectilinear grid frames containing organic or figurative motifs; gold leaf or metallic gold as a primary design element; stylised geometric flower heads — squares within circles; high-contrast black and white with gold and muted colour accents; bilateral symmetry with decorative insets.
Lettering direction: tall roman capitals with geometric construction; lettering integrated into ornamental bands; text in clearly demarcated rectangular zones.
Suggested colors: black, white, gold, grey-violet, muted rose, deep teal.
Composition: symmetrical vertical composition; architectural frame contains central image.
Atmosphere: jewelled, solemn, art-as-religion, Wien 1900.
Keep out of the design: flowing naturalistic curves of French Art Nouveau, pastel softness, craft-fair warmth, artificial yellowing or ageing.
Apply the visual language to the supplied brief; do not invent historical affiliations, endorsements, or extra copy.

Make the event name the strongest text element. Keep supporting details readable, with clear contrast and comfortable margins. Check spelling and retain the supplied wording. Do not include these instructions, labels, watermarks, or extra slogans in the artwork.
