Cutting without a grid
Most of the work starts on the floor. Pieces move until two edges argue, then they get a pin.
Type is a different animal. The picture can be lawless. The page around it should not be.
Journal
From the bench.
Short notes on cutting, licensing, and color.
What usage rights actually buy
Editorial one-time use is not a campaign. A jacket is not a worldwide billboard. The price is the use, not the hours alone.
Red Fold stays unlicensed on purpose. If you want the fox, you are asking for a new animal.
A color script is not a moodboard
We limit a job to three inks plus the paper. Cream is not “no color”; it is the loudest quiet we have.
If the final needs a new color to work, the script was wrong and we say so before anyone falls in love with a scan.
