Finished editorial cut-paper collage with expressive hand-drawn marker edges, portrait 3:4. One scatter-plot motif made from approximately twenty separate rough-cut paper ovals on a flat warm-apricot ground. Arrange the points in a tall, asymmetrical distribution on the right: broadly dispersed at the top and bottom, narrowly dispersed through the middle, creating a pinched-waist rhythm without an enclosing outline. Keep their positions irregular, not a grid. Exaggerate the point silhouettes into chunky squat blobs and long flattened ovals, all clearly separated. Alternate cobalt, plum and lime without a colour legend. Broad marker fills, slightly wobbly dark contours, tiny offset paper shadows, minimal texture. Leave generous uninterrupted breathing room toward the upper left. Flat frontal composition, bold thumbnail legibility, simple handmade shapes. Editorial artwork, not a technical diagram: no axes, gridlines, arrows or numerical annotations. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
