suggesting contact sheets or multiple exposures.

Diagonal graphic strips cut across the frame,

with no readable brand names.

Only one neon accent color is allowed: acid green,
used sparingly as a graphic highlight.

Raw flash photography feeling, but controlled.
Urban youth culture documentation style.
Authentic street mood — not luxury, not high fashion.

3:4 vertical composition.

Multiple neon archive tape strips are layered across the image,
resembling analog film labels, industrial proof markings, or photo lab tape.

Black condensed sans-serif text

Repeating, partially cropped, overlapping

Tape placement:

Several diagonal strips crossing the frame

Some running corner to corner
