Set a disciplined multi-column reading grid beneath an intentionally rough collage layer, keeping most texture around margins and image anchors. Pair grayscale subject cutouts with offset orange, rust, or purple silhouettes and irregular starbursts, then repeat those colors in heading strips and small markers. Alternate dark and cream spreads and finish with a dense, text-free montage for pacing. For a new subject, replace the performers, editorial copy, and music-specific symbols while retaining the contrast between orderly text and handmade-looking imagery.

Punk-inspired collage design for the Portuguese-language magazine Revista Dissonância, combining music imagery, portraits, graphic bursts and distressed textures.
- Color
- Black and off-white dominate, with vivid orange and violet accents and occasional grayscale photography.
- Type
- A mix of distressed typewriter-style and serif display lettering, small editorial text, and simple handwritten or sans-serif labels.
- Framing
- Asymmetric layouts pair bold titles and compact text with torn-paper edges, starbursts, halftone marks and grayscale musician portraits. Cover and spread mockups sit against solid-color backgrounds.
- Structure
- The artifact moves from the magazine title and project concept to its editorial tone and typography, then presents cover and spread mockups, interior pages and a closing collage of women musicians.
