EDITORIAL & PRINT TEMPLATE

Ransom-note zine

A photocopied zine page with a 'ransom-note' headline — every word cut from a different paper and taped down askew — a scribbled marker note with an arrow and a ticked list, for a loud, homemade, DIY announcement.

When the AI picks it

MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Ransom-note zine for posts that entertain, announce news or start a conversation, when the message is one sharp insight or a list. It is built first to entertain.

It reads each post’s goal and shape first, then its own words, the platform and the facts you have, and offers this template only where it fits.

Who it’s for

Any business. Nothing in it assumes what you sell, so the Director can offer it to a software company, a café or a coaching centre alike — whenever the post fits.

What it needs

Only your post. It is made from your copy and your brand kit — there is nothing else to prepare.

Rules the AI follows

Word for word from the template library. The Director follows the copy rules when it writes into the template, and the visual review checks every creative against the visual rules.

Copy rules

  1. A short, loud headline of plain words — the cut-out treatment does the shouting.
  2. The marker note and list carry real facts (where, when, what) from the post.

Visual rules

  1. A grey-white photocopied page with grain and dark copier edges.
  2. The headline as separate cut-out paper scraps — black, brand colour, white, tint — each in a different face, tilted and some taped; a brand-colour marker note with a hand-drawn arrow and a hand-ticked list.
  3. The logo on a white sticker in the corner with the website above it.
