01 // THE HOOK

This isn't homework. This is an underground proving ground for artisans who want to build a lethal portfolio, catch the eye of industry directors, and prove they own the grid. No grades. No safety nets. Just raw design.

02 // THE ANONYMITY

No Names, Only Design.

The Press consists of industry working art directors and graphic designers. They judge your plates by giving design “ink”. No names, completely blind. Can your work speak for itself?

03 // THE FACTIONS

Your first 3 drops claim your faction.

Design your first 3 plates from the prompts to get separated into your faction.
