Finished editorial illustration, 2:3 portrait. One oversized black cut-paper settings cog occupies the lower half, slightly left of centre. Its silhouette is comically wide and squat, with eight broad blunt teeth and a surprisingly small circular opening slightly off-centre. Keep the gear immediately recognisable at thumbnail size. A single cobalt-blue duplicate silhouette peeks from behind toward the lower right like a flat paper shadow. Matte silver-grey background shows through the opening. Handmade scissor-cut edges and a few broad black marker irregularities combine paper silhouette with expressive hand-drawn character. Flat opaque fills, no gradients, minimal texture, no intricate detail. Generous uninterrupted breathing room above. One object, no people, no diagrams. No text, logos or watermarks.
