1960s art film poster

Prompt

Create a vertical poster composition on aged cream paper with a handmade analog feel. Use rough ripped paper edges, layered magazine cutouts, photocopy grain, halftone texture, ink bleed, and slightly imperfect screen-print registration. Keep the subject as the main black-and-white photographic portrait, placed prominently in the center or upper center.

Surround the subject with graphic blocks of deep red, cobalt blue, warm yellow, black, and ivory. Add supporting collage fragments such as a rainy European street, film-strip borders, newspaper clippings, urban silhouettes, and cinematic details, arranged like a handmade 1960s art-house movie poster.

Use bold condensed typography with a strong visual hierarchy. Add large headline text: “{argument name="main title" default="[MAIN TITLE]"}”. Add smaller subtitle text: “{argument name="subtitle" default="[SUBTITLE]"}”. Add bottom text: “{argument name="event details" default="[BRAND NAME / EVENT NAME / COMING SOON / DATE]"}”. If needed, include a small top line reading “[TAGLINE]”.

The final result should feel cinematic, intellectual, rebellious, and editorial — like a lost 1960s European film poster with a strong point of view. Keep it raw, tactile, printed, imperfect, and handmade. Avoid a glossy modern finish.
