VISUAL BRIEF Design a visually intense editorial cover for a running brand. The image must capture the dynamism of a body in motion through the use of motion blur and long exposure techniques, with a dreamlike, surrealist aesthetic. The runner should appear as a fluid focal point amidst an abstract or light-distorted background. The entire scene must vibrate with controlled energy. Subtle editorial copy should be integrated seamlessly into the composition. LIGHTING Long exposure combined with moving light sources (e.g., neon, headlights, puddle reflections) High-contrast color lighting: magentas, acid greens, electric blues, cobalts, purples Highlights should form light trails, halos, or angled beams BACKGROUND Surreal or speed-distorted environments: Warped running track Night-time urban horizon with smeared colors Forest or tunnel of artificial lights Use of liquid mirrors, exaggerated reflections, wet ground with cinematic shine Light grain texture (simulating high-ISO film) SUBJECT (RUNNER) Partially blurred body, with selectively sharp zones (face either absent or diffused) Color trails emerging from sneakers and arms Ultra-modern technical outfit: iridescent synthetic fabric, asymmetric cuts, saturated tones (acid orange, emerald green, royal blue) Body positioned diagonally, expressing high-speed movementCentered or slightly off-center, appearing as if emerging from velocityCOPY & TYPOGRAPHYPrimary headline (floating in the foreground):“CROSS THE REALITY LINE”Font: Monument Extended BoldAll caps, tight trackingColor: white with slight transparency or iridescent gradient fillPlacement: center-aligned or in a third-line position in the lower thirdCOMPOSITIONVertical format (cover layout)Diagonal or spiral motion elementsControlled visual breathing zones created by motion blurCentral copy contrasted against background chaos, but without any bounding boxesAESTHETIC REFERENCESNick Knight and SHOWstudio (color and blur usage)Nike x Gyakusou campaignsCraig McDean — Movement seriesMusic videos by FKA Twigs and SevdalizaThe Designers Republic meets runner’s euphoria
