Neo-Brutalism

Flat graphic neo-brutalist illustration: pure flat fills with no gradients and no soft shading; a structural base of pure black used for every outline, border and hard unblurred offset drop shadow. High-saturation highlighter-like accents (hot red, vivid yellow, soft violet, electric blue) played against a cream or off-white paper ground, colour used categorically to carve the picture into discrete shapes. Thick uniform outlines, blocky oversized geometry, deliberately asymmetrical and densely layered composition with halftone dot, grid and scanline textures. Exaggerated scale shifts and sticker-like overlapping planes under harsh even light; no atmospheric perspective.
