A cultural-exhibition poster with a folk-print collage of a brass locomotive, robed figure, and woodblock waves over generous whitespace.

Create a 1:1.41 vertical cultural-exhibition poster titled "THE MECHANICAL TIDE," running from 6 September to 18 December 2026 at the fictional venue "Northbank Image Hall."

Use a cobalt-blue picture field in the upper half for a dense folk-print collage: center a front-facing steam locomotive in aged dark brass; behind it, layer a back-facing robed figure holding a folding fan and two touching world hemispheres. Interlock vermilion gateposts, acid-yellow X-shaped structural rods, small acrobatic performers on both sides, and ultramarine woodblock waves, with a few wave crests crossing the locomotive wheels.

Keep generous warm-white paper space below, with an oversized black sans-serif title and two centered exhibition-information lines. Limit the palette to warm white, cobalt blue, vermilion, acid yellow, charcoal, and aged gold. Add paper fibers, short tape strips at the corners, offset-print grain, and slight color misregistration. The result should feel rational and solemn, balancing modernist whitespace with an old printed-collage texture. Do not use logos, gradients, or 3D lighting.

Shorten the run

Changes the closing month from December to November; the opening date stays the same.
