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.
