Zine + Collage
Y2K Mirror UI Scribble Collage Style
A gritty Y2K photomontage style that combines wide-angle flash photography, floating desktop-like interface fragments, thick electric-blue marker outlines, hand-drawn graffiti lettering, and dense analog noise into a chaotic personal-screen collage.

Full style rules
Style anchors
- A wide-angle flash-photo base layer with exaggerated close foreground scale and compressed room depth.
- Very high visible grain, digital noise, sharpened edges, and slightly dirty scan texture across the whole image.
- A dense collage layout where photo fragments, translucent UI windows, pop-up cards, and small panels float over the scene.
- One thick electric-blue hand-drawn outline or route line wraps around the main subject or cuts through the composition.
- Large white graffiti-like handwritten headline lettering sits near an upper corner, irregular and brushy rather than typographic.
- Small desktop or mobile interface fragments use simplified generic UI chrome, rounded white panels, pale gray shadows, and blue action accents.
- The palette is mostly gray, white, black, and skin or object neutrals, interrupted by saturated cobalt/electric blue accents.
- Photo cutouts have rough edges, slight mismatched scale, and snapshot-collage logic rather than clean editorial placement.
- The scene feels personal, improvised, noisy, and screen-native, like a late-2000s desktop diary pasted over a flash photograph.
- Lighting is harsh and direct with blown highlights, mirror-like reflections, and metallic or tiled surfaces catching glare.
Do
- Use gritty flash photography, wide-angle distortion, rough cutout layering, and dense screen-collage construction.
- Use fictional UI panels with generic labels, tiny thumbnails, simplified alerts, and blue action states.
- Use hand-drawn white graffiti lettering and electric-blue marker outlines as recurring graphic anchors.
- Change the subject, setting, props, text, and story premise for every case.
Avoid
- Avoid exact mobile or desktop operating-system chrome, app icons, brand marks, watermarks, QR codes, usernames, or creator signatures.
- Avoid recreating a bathroom mirror selfie, a phone covering the face, a toothbrush, a striped shirt, or the original right-side UI stack.
- Avoid clean minimal layouts, low-noise photography, polished fashion editorials, flat vector graphics, or glossy 3D scenes.
- Avoid legible copied text from the reference image or any real names visible in the reference.
