Artist: Cold Front Title: No Signal ART DIRECTION Interpret the supplied brief in Neue Sachlichkeit / New Objectivity style. Visual vocabulary: photomontage combining photographs with drawn or typographic elements; harsh realistic rendering without idealism; dramatic cropping and scale contrast between elements; photographic figures placed against flat colour fields; visible collage seams used expressively. Lettering direction: bold block sans-serif in German grotesque tradition; text used as slogans integrated into the image; tight uppercase headlines. Suggested colors: black, white, photographic grey tones; deep red as political accent. Composition: photomontage dominates; text cuts across or anchors the composition. Atmosphere: urgent, critical, politically charged, documentary. Keep out of the design: Expressionist distortion or emotional exaggeration, decorative ornament, craft-fair warmth, artificial yellowing or ageing. Apply the visual language to the supplied brief; do not invent historical affiliations, endorsements, or extra copy. ILLUSTRATION NOTES A photographed radio tower and a cut-out face at harsh scale against a flat field. These notes guide the imagery; do not print them as text. Make the artist name and title the strongest text elements and keep all other text minimal and small, as on a real record sleeve. Check spelling and retain the supplied wording. Do not include these instructions, labels, watermarks, or extra slogans in the artwork.
