An original image that takes its structure from Punk (Style, 1970s–1980s) and its accent from Zine (Technique, 1930s– / 1970s revival). Structural cues: Cut-and-paste letters; Photocopier noise; Handwriting; Ragged placement. Accent cues, used sparingly: Photocopiers; Handwriting; Cut and paste; Small print runs. Composition: Deliberate misalignment and overlap; disturb even the margins. Type and lettering: Mix newsprint letters, handwriting and stamps. Let one material quality come from the second style: Coarse photocopy tone, staple binding, the shadows of cut edges left in.. Mood: Rebellion, Exhilaration, Intimacy, Play. Color: build on #eee3cf, #ef3127, #10100f with a single accent drawn from #ece8dd, #c9403b, #171615. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Punk: Borrowed rebellion is hollow. Decide what you are protesting first.
# - Zine: Copying only the coarse photocopy look misses the point. Who is sharing what with whom comes first, and the roughness is a result of small runs and low budgets, not a goal.
