Section titled “Tips & Best Practices”- Red + black + cream only: The limited palette IS the style. Adding other colors breaks it.
- Diagonal = dynamism: “Strong 30-degree diagonal composition.” Constructivism rejects horizontal/vertical stability — everything is angled.
- Photomontage contrast: Figurative elements should be high-contrast black and white, while backgrounds are flat geometric color.
- Typography is design: The text isn’t decoration — it’s a primary compositional element arranged at dramatic angles.
- Common pitfalls: “Russian style” is too vague. Always specify “Soviet Constructivist” + “Rodchenko” or “El Lissitzky.”
- Pairs well with: Art Deco Illustration (same era, opposite aesthetic), Concert Poster (similar bold graphic tradition)
