Another visual exploration for Meridian that isn't just a newspaper aesthetic, it's editorial design with tension. Old-world authority crashing into raw contemporary urgency, which one it harder?

#4 grabs more attention - follows basics of graphic design - Balance, Contrast, Hiearchy and Scale

Brutalist hits harder for authority; its raw, industrial weight commands the room. Stipple wins on soul, it feels cinematic and visceral. Both master that editorial tension you're after. 🧱✍️

ad 5 for me, the stipple work is unreal. love the editorial tension

Ad 5 hits harder. The stipple feels like signal emerging from noise — which is exactly what editorial tension should do. Ad 4 is loud; Ad 5 makes you lean in. Quiet is the new bold.
