* Use the following designs for inspiration only. Please do not copy the designs.
1. Gritty textures
Includes splatters, stains, scratches, and rough, imperfect finishes. Grainy and matt screen printing effects are common.
2. Intensive color palette
Predominantly black, white, and red, often with neon or metallic accents. High contrast is common, emphasizing urgency and intensity.
3. Themes of rebellion
Incorporates anarchist symbols, protest imagery, and anti-authoritarian messages.
Often features simple, black-and-white imagery that is often shocking or provocative.
4. Collage and layering
Combines hand-drawn illustrations, cut-and-paste elements, and low-quality photocopied images. Often experiment with unconventional layouts that break the rules of traditional graphic design. This can include asymmetrical layouts, collage techniques, and the use of negative space.
5. Music influence
Deeply tied to punk music culture with aesthetics inspired by album art, flyers, and posters from punk bands.
6. Chaotic typography
Uses distressed, stenciled, or ransom-note-style fonts. Often combines mismatched letters, bold headlines, and chaotic arrangements.
