Pastel Retro Futurism & Theatrical Symmetry, A Lora Visual Study

This project explores how pastel color systems, and retro futuristic set design can be translated into a generative visual system.
I curated and captioned a high-resolution dataset focusing on symmetry, and soft film like lighting, then balance stylistic consistency with scene flexibility.
The result emphasizes retro futurism composition, nostalgic color palettes, allowing generated images to feel intentionally designed rather than randomly styled.
This project can be applied to experimental storytelling, concept visuals, brand world-building where strong visual identity is required.
