2024-JUL-11A 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 (sub-)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 &lt;---&gt; 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&lt;---&gt;50 steps, generally I used 30 or 40 in testingCFG scale:	5&lt;---&gt;10, generally I used 6 or 7 in testingMostly used Hires.fix at either 1.25 or 1.5 to increase the detail a bit.Hires.fix steps 15&lt;---&gt;25, 4x_NMKD_Siax_200k or your favorite, denoising 0.4I 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,logoCheckpoint models that worked well when I tested this TI:Clarity XL<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/471585/clarity-xl">https://civarchive.com/models/471585/clarity-xl</a>Magie_Noire v4<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/505656?modelVersionId=612138">https://civarchive.com/models/505656?modelVersionId=612138</a>Midnight v5<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/496960/midnight">https://civarchive.com/models/496960/midnight</a>BaZaar v0.20_UD<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/450025">https://civarchive.com/models/450025</a>ArtOlives v1<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/369548">https://civarchive.com/models/369548</a>Crystal Clear XL<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/122822/crystal-clear-xl">https://civarchive.com/models/122822/crystal-clear-xl</a>ZavyChromaXL v8<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/119229?modelVersionId=563988">https://civarchive.com/models/119229?modelVersionId=563988</a>[PUBLISHEDTOCIVITAIONLY]
