Director's note

Geometry first, colour second, texture last. Keep the shapes simple and the axis clear, pick gradient pairs that stay vivid in print, and add fine grain so the colour looks inked rather than rendered. One small caption in a corner at most.

About this brief

How do I photograph the Baugasm aesthetic?

Build the image from three shapes and two gradients, then let the grain make it feel printed.

Geometry first, colour second, texture last. Keep the shapes simple and the axis clear, pick gradient pairs that stay vivid in print, and add fine grain so the colour looks inked rather than rendered. One small caption in a corner at most. Credit the Bauhaus lineage and Vasjen Katro's project when you reference it directly.
