Copy-ready prompt
Create a retro psychedelic concert poster from 1969, in the style of a Wes Wilson San Francisco rock poster, printed on worn, creased, faded ink, and brown borders of old, folded paper. The composition is a square poster with a deep purple background filled with subtle swirling paisley patterns, bordered by irregular black tendril borders with neon green highlights. At the top is a large, distorted, melted hand-drawn title text.{argument name="band name" default="COSMIC DRIFT"} The text employs an orange-to-bright pink gradient, paired with black shadows and green outlines, stretched and twisted into an organic, spherical font. Below and around the title are six different active text elements: “performing LIVE at THE ELECTRIC OWL BALLROOM”, “JUNE 21 1969”, “SAN FRANCISCO 777 GROOVE ST AT THIRD”, “with VELVET HAZE and”, “THE BURNING MONKS”, and a tiny footer line “TICKETS $3.50 • DOORS 8PM • BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE HAIGHT INDEPENDENT SOUND SOCIETY”. The central art features a black silhouette of a long-armed electric guitarist leaning back in a dramatic rock pose, one arm raised, guitar neck tilted upwards. Behind the performer, a radiating psychedelic glow, wavy stripes, and liquid shapes are created, composed of orange, lime green, yellow, and magenta. In the upper right corner of the beam, place a giant, surreal eyeball sun with red blood vessels, hypnotic spiral pupils, rainbow beams, and dripping slime dangling from its lower edge. Add seven smaller, floating spiral eye disks to the beam, along with tiny planets, mushrooms, bubbles, stars, flowers, flames, and abstract graffiti reminiscent of 1960s counterculture. Use saturated fluorescent colors.{argument name="primary poster colors" default="Purple, bright pink, orange, lime green, yellow, and black"} The layout should be dense, hand-drawn, highly decorative, clearly legible yet wavy and illusory, with a realistic screen printing texture and slight misregistration.
