VISUAL OS 030 Trade Blocks Poster

Three inks. Four block types. Any trade fits. TRACE LINE - mapping the night network FLOW BACK - field notes from the river edge BIND HARD - made to survive the shelf HOLD FAST - keep the line alive Locked: – bone paper, signal red, ink black - and nowhere a fourth – a strict rectangular grid with paper gutters; no rotation, no overlap – two photo blocks in red-black duotone halftone: the worker mid-task, then the evidence close-up – one kicker block: black field, cream condensed caps, the trade's promise in a few words – one glyph block: red field, one black diagram of the trade - route nodes, a water gauge, a stitch map, a pulse – bottom third: two imperative words in ultra-heavy grunge caps, cropped by both edges – photos keep photocopy grit, type keeps ink starve, paper keeps speckle – the glyph must explain something, never decorate Swaps: trade / two-word motto / kicker line / glyph / the two photographs
