The visual language should feel raw, rebellious, bold, experimental, and editorial, blending precise illustration with conceptual art. Use a pale aged-parchment background (background) with subtle grain, faded paper texture, delicate linework, ink stains, and the feeling of an old manuscript or forgotten document.
