Voice & Don'ts
Tone raw, archival, experimental, uncompromising Headlines Stark, monospaced, and often glitched or distorted. CTAs Uppercase monospace text, often with a 2px border. Don't use soft shadows — the screenshot shows flat, borderless elements only. Don't use rounded corners — the screenshot shows strict rectangular shapes. Don't use multiple colors — the screenshot shows a strict black and white palette. Don't use sans-serif fonts — the screenshot shows exclusively monospace typography. Don't use lowercase text — the screenshot shows all text in uppercase. Don't use complex gradients — the screenshot shows solid black and white fills. Avoid: polished gradients Avoid: rounded corners Avoid: warm tones Avoid: friendly illustrations

System prompt
Design for a brutalist, experimental digital archive or portfolio. Use a strict black and white palette with no accent colors. Typography must be monospace and uppercase. Layout should be stark and full-screen. Avoid all common UI flourishes like rounded corners, shadows, or gradients. Focus on raw, digital, and archival aesthetics with glitched or distorted elements. This system uses a black background (#000000) and white foreground (#FFFFFF). Typography is entirely monospace. Key constraints: no border-radius, no shadows, no lowercase text, and no multi-color palettes. The feel should be like a VHS tape or a retro terminal interface.
