# Retro Album Art

Creates album covers with halftone, misregistration and risograph textures and a layout safe for streaming thumbnails.

## When to use

- Singles and EPs
- Playlists
- Podcast covers

## Workflow

1. Get title, mood and references.
2. Pick a texture recipe.
3. Compose layout with safe margins.
4. Render 3000×3000.
5. Generate a colour variant.

## What you deliver

- 3000×3000 cover
- Thumbnail-safe layout
- Variant with alt colours

## Not for

- Copyrighted imagery
- Photorealistic artwork
- Tiny illegible text

## Quality bar

- State assumptions you made and ask before overwriting existing files.
- Never invent facts, numbers, logos or quotes — use placeholders and say so.
- Follow `references/style-guide.md` for colour and type decisions.
- Finish with a short checklist of what the user should review or replace.
