Artist: The Nerves
Title: Wired

ART DIRECTION
Interpret the supplied brief in Halftone / Newsprint style.
Visual vocabulary: large exaggerated halftone dot screen — blobs not fine dots — over all photos; photos read as high-contrast graphic patches, detail sacrificed to dot pattern; white or very pale grey paper ground — freshly printed, not aged; heavy black ink with slight spread into paper texture; ruled column dividers and horizontal rules between stories.
Lettering direction: tabloid variant — massive bold condensed sans headline, all-caps, urgent; broadsheet variant — authoritative serif headline, mixed case, formal column grid; standfirst in slightly smaller bold; body text in tight justified columns.
Suggested colors: black ink on white; optional single red for masthead banner or drop capital only — no other colour.
Composition: masthead across full width at top; dominant photo with halftone screen; stacked headline and columns below.
Atmosphere: urgent, journalistic, democratic, freshly inked, pre-digital Britain.
Keep out of the design: yellowed or aged paper — this is a freshly printed newspaper, colour photography or colour ink other than a single red accent, fine halftone dots — make them large and visible, decorative illustration, artificial yellowing or ageing.
Apply the visual language to the supplied brief; do not invent historical affiliations, endorsements, or extra copy.
