What is in the picture.
Every poster is painted from a written brief. This is the one Golden Gate was drawn from.
- The view
- From the Marin headlands slope above Battery Spencer, looking south southeast down the strait at the north tower and cable sweep.
- The subject
- The north tower, two braced steel portals in international orange, main cable dropping in a catenary to the roadway and rising again to the far tower.
- The light
- Late afternoon, low sun from the west raking the tower's west face bright orange and throwing the east face into deep rust shadow.
- Behind it
- Fog bank lying low on the strait in flat grey lavender, the south tower rising through it, water simplified to banded slate.
- The distance
- San Francisco hills and downtown blocks flattened to pale haze blue silhouettes under open sky.
On a wall.
Mounted and framed, lit by each room’s own light.
The print itself.
Paper
250 gsm museum-quality matte, acid-free, with a light natural texture that suits flat colour.
Sizes
12 x 16", 18 x 24", 24 x 36", framed or unframed. The two smaller sizes are 3:4 and the largest is 2:3, so each is composed for its own shape rather than cropped from the other.
Printing
Produced to order by the press nearest the delivery address and shipped flat or framed. The artwork is upscaled before it goes to press, never generated large.
How it was made
A language model writes the composition brief and a diffusion model paints the artwork. The house style, palette, depth rules and typesetting are ours, applied the same way to every poster. The titles are never painted; they are composited afterwards as vector outlines.
