Traits

Layout

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.

StackedDepthLayered Overlap

Elements stacked front-to-back and allowed to occlude one another, building depth through overlap rather than perspective.

RawAsymmetryAsymmetry

Irregular, off-balance column breaks and floating elements mimicking imperfect physical zines.

Medium

PaintWorkPainting

A painting shown as the work itself — pigment on canvas, panel, board or paper, photographed flat or hung, where the hand and the surface are the point rather than the raw material of a poster, cover or spread.

Subject

FigureWorkHuman Figure

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