description: Build historically grounded and clearly speculative visual direction for each era.
---

For 1880 and 1980, use recognizable period cues in clothing, materials, environment, typography, technology, and lighting. For 2080 and 2180, label choices as creative speculation and avoid claiming predictions. Give each era a subject treatment, setting, palette, texture, wardrobe, props, and lighting direction.
