A good fit for

Chamber recitals, life drawing sessions, and symbolist or textile exhibitions.

A little art direction

Keep the event name short; the lettering is deliberately small and tucked into vertical bands. Ask for one attenuated figure or flower in the illustration notes, not a scene.

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 Glasgow Style style.
Visual vocabulary: extreme vertical emphasis — tall narrow compositions; elongated attenuated human figures or organic forms; stylised rose or abstract floral motif; strong black outlines on white with limited colour; grid insets and square decorative elements.
Lettering direction: tall roman letterforms with fine strokes; lettering integrated into vertical decorative bands; restrained, small, and precisely placed.
Suggested colors: black, white, rose pink, grey-purple, silver-green.
Composition: tall narrow format; vertical stacking of ornamental zones.
Atmosphere: cool, austere, mystical, Northern European.
Keep out of the design: warm naturalistic organic curves of French Art Nouveau, gold and jewelled richness of Vienna Secession, craft-fair pastels, 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.

Copy first, then paste into your preferred image-making chat.
