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 Reggae / Sound System Flyer style.
Visual vocabulary: bold hand-lettered or stencil type — no pretence of polish; lion of Judah, map of Africa, or sound system speaker stack as imagery; red, gold, and green as dominant palette with black; event details stacked with emphasis on DJ and sound system names; informal but confident layout.
Lettering direction: hand-lettered or stencil-cut display type; bold caps with outlines or drop shadows; all information on equal footing — no clear typographic hierarchy.
Suggested colors: red, gold, green, black — Rastafarian national colours.
Composition: informal stack; imagery and text share the field on equal terms.
Atmosphere: warm, communal, roots, handmade, joyful.
Keep out of the design: Swiss or corporate polish, cold minimalism, 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.
