Interpret the supplied brief in Madhubani / Indian Folk Art style.
Visual vocabulary: heavy black outline defining all forms — never open or unfinished; every area filled with geometric pattern — hatching, dots, chevrons; fish, bird, peacock, lotus, and solar motifs; flat colour within pattern fill — no shading or gradient; double black outline borders framing the entire composition.
Lettering direction: hand-lettered Devanagari script if used; text treated as a decorative element within the filled field.
Suggested colors: ochre, terracotta, turmeric yellow, indigo, forest green, black on cream or natural paper.
Composition: central figure or scene surrounded by dense decorative border; every area filled.
Atmosphere: devotional, communal, mythic, richly patterned, folk celebration.
Keep out of the design: empty or negative space, Western perspective or shading, artificial yellowing or ageing.
