Retro Futurist Synthetic Ecology Poster

Goal: Create a retro-futurist sci-fi magazine or book cover poster about synthetic ecology, cybernetic biology, and planetary regeneration, using a bold Chinese typographic layout with a gritty screen-printed aesthetic.

Canvas: Vertical poster in 3:4 ratio, slightly worn black paper background with distressed ink texture, rough edges, halftone grain, misregistration, and faded print imperfections.

Visual style: 1980s-1990s retro science journal cover, cyberpunk botanical diagram, brutalist typography, limited 3-color palette of charcoal black, pale icy blue, and vivid vermilion red. Use heavy block letters, technical micro-labels, barcode marks, diagram lines, small icons, and subtle red/blue offset shadows.

Main composition: Fill the poster with oversized pale-blue Chinese title typography reading {argument name="main Chinese title" default="合成生态"}, arranged in huge stacked block characters occupying the right and center. Let parts of the title be partially hidden behind botanical and planetary elements. Add a large red horizontal banner across the lower third with bold black Chinese text reading {argument name="banner Chinese slogan" default="重构生命・连接系统・再生地域"}. Include small English text on the right side of the banner: “REPROGRAM LIFE / CONNECT, SYSTEMS / REGENERATE EARTH”.

Subject details: Place one large synthetic plant branch diagonally from lower right to upper left, with exactly 5 visible leaves: 2 large pale-blue leaves on the left, 2 red leaves near the upper and middle left, and 1 narrow blue-red leaf extending downward toward the planet. Leaves should have detailed veins, halftone shading, and red/blue print noise. Integrate exactly 9 circuit-node elements around the plant: 5 small red circular nodes connected by thin red circuit traces, 2 pale-blue circular nodes, and 2 larger ring-shaped nodes. At the lower right, add one pale-blue transparent globe or biosphere dome containing a tiny forest and futuristic vertical structures. Wrap exactly 2 orbital rings around the globe in thin pale-blue strokes.

Top-left magazine information block: Add small pale-blue text reading “FUTURE RESEARCH JOURNAL”, then a globe icon, then “VOL.12  NO.04” and “OCT. 2037”. Beneath it, include Chinese text “未来研究 / 专题刊” and a short stacked list: “生命工程 / 计算生物 / 自适应系统 / 行星尺度生态”. Add one barcode, one crosshair symbol, and one short dashed technical line in this left column.

Right-side vertical label: Along the right edge, place vertical pale-blue English text reading {argument name="vertical English label" default="SYNTHETIC REGELOGY"}, with four small plus signs beside it.

Bottom information strip: Below the red banner, create a pale-blue footer panel divided into exactly 4 information blocks. Block 1 contains a plant-and-circuit icon. Block 2 contains Chinese headline text “生物 × 算法 × 环境” and smaller Chinese technical lines. Block 3 contains a circular half-planet / half-circuit icon and Chinese text “构建可计算、可生长、可进化的地球生态系统。” plus small English text “TOWARDS A COMPUTABLE, LIVING AND EVOLVING PLANETARY ECOSYSTEM.” Block 4 contains a barcode, a globe icon, and three diagonal hazard stripes.

Text constraints: Preserve the visible mixture of Chinese and English text; allow minor imperfect letterforms as if printed from an old press, but keep the major title, banner slogan, journal label, date, and English captions readable. Do not add people, animals, photorealistic lighting, glossy 3D rendering, or extra colors beyond black, pale blue, and red.
