Editorial Collage vs Punk
エディトリアル・コラージュ / パンク
Editorial Collage comes from Publishing and Editing and Punk from Counterculture. One is technique and the other style. They are reached for with some of the same intent, which is where they get confused.
Editorial Collage
Layers fragments from different times and contexts, showing the editor's point of view before any explanation.
Punk
A DIY objection to the authority of the tidy, made by cutting, pasting and dirtying.
| Editorial Collage | Punk | |
|---|---|---|
| Era | contemporary | 1970s–1980s |
| Family | Publishing and Editing | Counterculture |
| Kind | Technique | Style |
| Cues | Cut-out photographs / Mixed scales / Collision with white space / Annotations | Cut-and-paste letters / Photocopier noise / Handwriting / Ragged placement |
| Best used for | Implying an article's argument in one image · Giving found material a new reading | Voicing dissent against the rules · Giving events and communities a raw voice |
| Type | A disciplined text face with large pull quotes | Mix newsprint letters, handwriting and stamps |
| Composition | Choose the leading fragment; layer the rest before and behind | Deliberate misalignment and overlap; disturb even the margins |
| Material | Photos, scraps, hand-drawn lines; leave the cut edges visible | Copier paper, tears, black plus a warning color |
| Caution | Don't just add material. Be able to say what every fragment means. | Borrowed rebellion is hollow. Decide what you are protesting first. |
