mono-color

Similarity 83Trust 81Excellent 100

Generate original one-ink or controlled two-ink editorial images from any theme, sentence, article idea, object, or reference photo. Always use this skill when the user asks for 单色海报、双色印刷、单色调视觉、蓝色/绿色孔版印刷、risograph、网点照片、复古或当代编辑排版、zine poster, monochrome editorial poster, duotone print, or asks to use the mono-color style. It uses an adaptive white, gray, or pale-beige substrate, no more than two printing inks, active negative space, terse human language, and strong serif/grotesk/mono typography without making retro styling the default or copying a source composition, wording, logo, or artwork. Produce both the final generation prompt and the generated raster image unless the user explicitly asks for prompt only.
