New Wave TypographyBreak the grid, keep the type.

Swiss grotesques set at unexpected angles and sizes, sliced by overlapping columns, halftone screens, and photographic fragments layered like transparent film.

A good fit for

Techno and electro night posts, coding club stories, and workshop or studio announcements.

A little art direction

Leave the event name as two strong words; it will be broken across the layout. Describe one photographic fragment in the illustration notes, such as a fader, a joystick, or a squeegee.

Vertical story (9:16) · GPT Image 2.5 SunburstSignal / NoiseRead the exact prompt
Create a finished vertical social media story graphic announcing an event, in a 9:16 aspect ratio. Produce the graphic itself, without a phone frame, app interface, or mockup. Keep all text inside the middle 80% of the height so app controls do not cover it.

POST TEXT
Use the following event information exactly as written. The labels before each colon are for you, not for the graphic; print only the text after them. Do not invent extra event details.
Title: Signal / Noise

ART DIRECTION
Interpret the supplied brief in New Wave Typography style.
Visual vocabulary: fragmented overlapping grid columns; photographic elements combined with type and geometry; halftone dot screens used as visual texture; text blocks at angles cutting across the composition; layered transparent elements creating depth.
Lettering direction: Swiss grotesques used at unexpected scales and angles; letter-spacing pushed wide or tight for effect; mixed weights creating rhythm across the page.
Suggested colors: black, white, warm grey; one or two strong accent colours — red, yellow, or blue.
Composition: multi-layered — no single reading order; the eye is directed across planes.
Atmosphere: intellectual, experimental, proto-digital, knowing.
Keep out of the design: clean Swiss orthodoxy, decorative illustration, 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 halftone fragment of a hand on a mixer fader, sliced by overlapping columns.
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.
