Factory Records / HaçiendaRestraint is the statement.

A precise grid, one strong color against black or white, a classical serif title, and almost nothing else. The empty space does the talking.

A good fit for

Post-punk gig posts, listening session reminders, and gallery late opening stories.

A little art direction

Add a catalogue number to the event name, like 'No. 51'. Keep the notes to one abstract form; a story wants a single tall element and a lot of empty field.

ART DIRECTION
Interpret the supplied brief in Factory Records / Haçienda style.
Visual vocabulary: fine grid with careful proportional relationships; restrained serif/sans dialogue — often a classical face with grotesque; large areas of single colour — black, white, or one strong hue; photography or abstract graphic used with almost no decoration; catalogue numbering as design element (FAC numbers).
Lettering direction: precise sans-serif for functional information; classical serif for title — understated, never shouty; generous white space around type.
Suggested colors: black, white, and one colour — often deep blue, grey, or green.
Composition: systematic grid; generous margins; information precisely located.
Atmosphere: austere, romantic, post-industrial, elegantly melancholy.
Keep out of the design: warmth or decorative detail, clashing colours or busy composition, craft-fair aesthetics, artificial yellowing or ageing.
Apply the visual language to the supplied brief; do not invent historical affiliations, endorsements, or extra copy.

ILLUSTRATION NOTES
A single flat foghorn cone placed precisely near the top of a tall grid.
These notes guide the imagery; do not print them as text.

This will be viewed on a phone: keep the event name very large, use few words at a large size, and leave generous margins. Keep supporting details readable with clear contrast. Check spelling and retain the supplied wording. Do not include these instructions, labels, watermarks, or extra slogans in the artwork.
