Palette & Light
Saturated clay, ochre, olive, and oxidised red — pigment-derived hues at full strength, drawn from earth and paint rather than from screen colour.
Layout
Highly structured, perfectly centered focal points emerging from negative space.
Medium
Single-surface display work built to be read at distance — bills, gig posters, and out-of-home placements.
Work made by hand or by digital brush — ink, pencil, watercolour, gouache, painted mural, vector illustration — shown as the image itself rather than as an element inside a poster, cover or spread.
Subject
The body as primary subject — portraiture, fashion figure, and the crowd.
Ranked by how many traits each reference has in common with this one — computed from the image, never from who is looking at it.
