Market Event Poster (Retro Risograph Style)
Two-color risograph style with built-in design credibility. Typography blocks are placeholders you swap for real event details.
prompt
Design an event poster for {event_name} happening on {date} at {venue}. Style: retro risograph print, two-color palette of {color_a} and {color_b}, grainy texture, bold condensed typography placeholder blocks, playful illustrated icons of market stalls and food. Vertical 2:3 ratio, leave a clean band at the bottom for sponsor logos.
Variables
This prompt uses the variables below. Fill them in when you hit Copy — anything left blank keeps its {placeholder}.
- {event_name}Event name
- e.g. 山城週末市集
- {date}Date
- e.g. 7/18–7/19
- {venue}Venue
- e.g. 華山大草原
- {color_a}Primary color
- e.g. 橘紅
- {color_b}Secondary color
- e.g. 靛藍
Use case
Posters and social images for markets, gigs and community events.
How to use it
Fill five fields: {event_name}, {date}, {venue}, and two colors you want, {color_a} and {color_b}. Generate the 2:3 vertical image with midjourney or gemini-image. It uses a two-color risograph print style, and the text appears as placeholder blocks — don't expect the AI to spell the event name or date, so overlay the real text in Canva afterwards. That clean band at the bottom is there for you to drop in sponsor logos.
Why it works
Markets and community events rarely have a design budget, so the value here is a style that carries built-in design credibility. The two-color risograph look has a handmade, indie feel that reads as more trustworthy than a hastily laid-out poster; limiting it to two colors keeps the AI's palette clean and makes printing easier. Asking for placeholder text blocks and illustrated stall and food icons is deliberate — this style is about mood and composition, and real text is more reliably handled in post. The 2:3 ratio suits both print and Instagram, and the bottom band solves the sponsor-logo problem every event poster eventually hits.
Tips & variations
- Two colors set the mood: warm (orange-red and yellow) feels lively, cool (indigo and forest green) feels indie — pick {color_a}/{color_b} to match the event.
- Swap the icons by theme: change 'market stalls and food' to 'instruments and notes' or 'books and plants' to make a music fest or a secondhand book fair in the same style.
- Series are easy: keep the style and palette fixed and change only the name and illustrated elements to unify a whole run of events.
- Align to the bottom band: lay sponsor logos at equal height and spacing inside the bottom band so the main artwork isn't squeezed and the whole poster looks more professional.
