Mayakovskie_Agitki_Var5_Flux_LoRA_BySilverAgePoets

Constructivist & ROST-Agitprop Art Low Rank Adapter (LoRA) for Visuals with Stylized Text

Another version of a FLUX LoRa based our English/Worldish-translated editions of 1910s proto-Soviet & 1920s Soviet textographic posters, book covers, comic strips, & arts mainly by Vladimir Mayakovsky & Alexander Rodchenko, with a few by Mayakovsky + Varvara Stepanova, Ivan Malyutin, and other artists... <br>

All imagery used as training data for this adapter (46 images) was diligently reproduced by us as designs featuring English-language text diligently matched to their Russian-language sources, to preserve with due fidelity both the visual character of the works and their textographic significations. <br> With that said, some creative touches were added by us here and there (particularly our reproduction of the "PRO ETO" cover, for which we colorized/upscaled the photo of Lilya Brik and added some symbolically-charged Online-era flourishes.) <br>

We've added the training set, both our translated/reproduced visuals and ultra-detailed manual captions, to the Files section HERE. <br>

The first two images in the below gallery constitute examples of one of our reproductions and, underneath, its source. <br> The following three images are further examples of our reproductions, used as the training data. <br> Anything underneath those is generated using this adapter, and at this very page, with no settings adjustments or refinement addons involved, via the inference API on the right, which you also may use. <br>

EXAMPLE OF THE SORT OF MANUAL CAPTIONING WE USED FOR ALL 46 TRAINED IMAGES: <br> <br> An early Soviet motivational and educational cartoon poster by Vladimir Mayakovsky, aimed at Communists and Proletarians, with four panels and four respective captions, plus a contextualizing quote at the very top. The quoted text reads: "THE QUESTION OF ELECTRIFICATION HAS BEEN SET INTO THE SCHEDULE OF OUR CONGRESS. WE NOW APPROACH A MAJOR BREAKING POINT: AT THE TRIBUNE OF THE UNITED PLENUMS WOULD HENCEFORTH APPEAR NOT ONLY POLITICIANS, BUT ALSO ENGINEERS.", and continues on with a clarification of the quote's source, as being: "FROM COMRADE LENIN'S SPEECH AT THE 8TH CONGRESS". Below the quote are the four panels: The first one, on the top left, shows a red Promethean arm holding a flaming torch, next to a large slogan imploring the world to "COMMUNE", and accompanied by a caption text of: "1) ON THIS PLANET A TRUTH WE'VE IGNITED!". The second panel, on the top right, shows a large rectangular sign posted over the globe cornered by symbolic yellow electric arrows. The rectangular sign reads "ALL POWER TO LOCAL COUNCILS". Its respective caption reads: "2) AND THIS TRUTH HAD SPREAD THRU THE WHOLE BRIGHT WORLD!" In its turn, the third panel, on the bottom left, shows a red outlined figure of a proletarian worker in a cap and with giant arms and hands triumphantly holding forth two lamps with green lampshades. The caption text below this image says: "3) TODAY WE REQUIRE THESE FIRES!". Lastly, the fourth panel shows a bearded worker or peasant, the minimalistic red-toned cartoon depiction of whom stands with arms stretched up worshipfully towards a lamp-post with a glowing yellow lightbulb. The caption underneath this pictorial panel reads: "4) MAY THEY MAKE SURE OUR LANDS CAME TOGETHER AND GLOWED!". Overall, this comic masterfully conveys the meaning of nationwide electrification instituted by the Soviet leadership in the early years of the country's development. The simple art style only serves to convey the poster's informative and stirring message with a greater immediacy and poignancy.
