FUTURISM — BOCCIONI SPEED AND MOTION LINES

VISUAL STYLE: Italian Futurism — Umberto Boccioni, Giacomo Balla. The glorification of speed, motion, and modernity. Multiple exposure frozen in paint. A running figure leaves ten positions of itself simultaneously.

COLOUR PALETTE: Electric and industrial. Deep black and steel grey for shadow and mass. Bright white for speed lines and energy. Electric blue, acid yellow, and hot orange as motion accents. The colour of electricity and velocity.

MOTION LINES: Speed rendered as radiating lines from a moving object. A figure walking becomes a blur of overlapping positions with lines streaming behind it.

MULTIPLE EXPOSURE: Moving objects leave their previous positions visible — a hand raised shows the arc of its rise. Time compressed into a single image.

COMPOSITION: Diagonal energy — nothing is horizontal or restful. Lines run at 45 degrees. Composition creates the feeling of falling forward into motion.

TYPOGRAPHY: Bold, slightly tilted. Speed-italic. Letters lean forward as if moving.

No stillness. No repose. Everything is in the act of becoming something else.
