Traits

Layout

FrontalSymmetrySymmetry

Highly structured, perfectly centered focal points emerging from negative space.

HardCropAggressive Crop

Subjects severed at the frame edge — faces, objects, and letterforms cut hard rather than contained, using the crop itself as a compositional act.

Treatment

AnalogNoiseGrain / Texture Check

Heavy analog noise, rough scans, and tactile textures serving as an authentic defense against smooth AI perfection.

Medium

CoverArtCover Design

The front of a bound publication or release — masthead, image, and billing composed to work as a shelf-front, not as a spread or a poster.

The body as primary subject — portraiture, fashion figure, and the crowd.
