Photograph from slightly above the vessels and a few degrees off square. One fully saturated deep green fills the frame as both wall and floor, matte and seamless, the horizon line between them clearly visible across the upper third. Three slim drinks cans, two standing and one laid sit on the floor together, at least one standing upright and at least one lying on its side with its closure facing the lens, overlapping slightly and offset right of centre. One hard source high to one side throws a crisp dark cast shadow to the opposite side and models the floor. Every pack carries wobbly hand-drawn display caps with small marker doodles and handwritten callouts scattered around them, on a pastel ground, one accent colour: a hand tipping the bottle as the motif, the accent hue on black, the name Brute, and a barcode used as a design element — printed on a ground inside the frame's own hue family so the design reads by value and by the black type alone, with one white panel. Every colour on the pack is flat with a hard edge and the lettering is one flat colour. Matte paper label on the pack, and where the pack is glass the contents read through it, textured. Hard at the shadow edge and at every printed edge, soft on the glass. Deep green across the whole frame at full strength. Confident and graphic — a poster that happens to be a photograph.
