## Prompt

- Model: GPT Image 2

```text
Transform this photo into a photocopied zine page. High contrast black and white with blown-out highlights and crushed shadows. Visible toner grain and streaks. Slight paper skew as if placed on a Xerox machine at an angle. Some areas have that characteristic photocopy 'glow' halftone areas. Text collage elements overlaid in punk zine style: ransom-note-style cut-out letters, hand-drawn arrows, and anarchist/DIY aesthetic marks. Slightly crumpled paper texture. The person should still be recognizable but abstracted through the photocopy degradation.
```
