ART DIRECTION
Interpret the supplied brief in Neue Sachlichkeit / New Objectivity style.
Visual vocabulary: photomontage combining photographs with drawn or typographic elements; harsh realistic rendering without idealism; dramatic cropping and scale contrast between elements; photographic figures placed against flat colour fields; visible collage seams used expressively.
Lettering direction: bold block sans-serif in German grotesque tradition; text used as slogans integrated into the image; tight uppercase headlines.
Suggested colors: black, white, photographic grey tones; deep red as political accent.
Composition: photomontage dominates; text cuts across or anchors the composition.
Atmosphere: urgent, critical, politically charged, documentary.
Keep out of the design: Expressionist distortion or emotional exaggeration, decorative ornament, craft-fair warmth, artificial yellowing or ageing.
Apply the visual language to the supplied brief; do not invent historical affiliations, endorsements, or extra copy.

ILLUSTRATION NOTES
A photographed factory chimney, a child's face, and a bicycle collaged at harsh scales.
These notes guide the imagery; do not print them as text.
