A TI (Textual Inversion) embedding to make retro graphic design images with a 20th century vibe. Think vinyl album covers, Omni magazine, CMYK process colors. At least, that’s what I’m thinking :-) Perhaps this is a recognised (-)genre? I had a look through CivitAI and asked the google, but I couldn’t find a match for what I was imagining... so I made my own.
Anyone got a better label?
This TI uses 8 vectors (i.e. 8 tokens in your prompt) and is 33KB in size. Weighting works (tested in range 0.5 <---> 1.2), but I usually just move the trigger right/left to weaken/strengthen respectively. I did not use any "in the style of” artists or art movements in the training images.
The trigger word is cs-gdblk, but you can change that simply by renaming the .safetensors file. If you do, try not to use a real word that SDXL already knows!
Behaviour:
Graphic style rather than photorealism.
Reduced color palettes, e.g. CMYK, ROYGBIV, duo/tri/quadtone.
Can produce detail if you ask for it, but defaults to simpler shapes and block colour for short prompts.
Vibrant output in most checkpoints I tested.
More darker/night backgrounds than lighter. By design; this TI is gdblk=Graphic Design Black. I’ve been trying to make a complementary Graphic Design White TI for lighter/day backgrounds but without success so far.
Testing and showcase images done in Forge version: f0.0.17v1.8.0rc-latest-276-g29be1da7.
Sampler: testing worked well with...
DPM++ 2M Karras 25<--->50 steps, generally I used 30 or 40 in testing
CFG scale: 5<--->10, generally I used 6 or 7 in testing
Mostly used Hires.fix at either 1.25 or 1.5 to increase the detail a bit.
Hires.fix steps 15<--->25, 4x_NMKD_Siax_200k or your favorite, denoising 0.4
I didn't use any other adjusters/controlnet/i2i/post-processing for the showcase images.
During testing I kept the negative prompt as simple as possible, e.g.:
closed eyes,signature,logo
