KERNEL PANIC
BREAK THE PATTERN.
Buckwheat Fictional material study
ARTIST INTENT
“I pushed a grain into a digital breakdown. Organic geometry fragments into ultraviolet pixels. The name carries the joke; the silver surface gives it an edge.”
VISUAL DIRECTION
Triangular kernels evolve into a fractured digital pattern.
Silver-toned outer card, ultraviolet pixel blocks and a black inner flap; a grain motif bridges both surfaces.
PROPOSED FINISH
Silver ink or foil. Ultraviolet pixels. Black inner flap.
NEXT TEST
Compare metallic ink with foil on a proof. Test glare, scannability of small type and consistency across folds.
PALETTE
Silver / ultraviolet / black
