A methodology slide with a centered body-copy column set over a tall photocopied scan texture, plus a small italic source footnote.
Summary
The methodology slide: a short two-paragraph explanation of how the survey was conducted, set as a centered column over a tall scanned-paper texture.
Visual description
Near-black background with corner brackets and dashed guides. A tall vertical photocopied scan strip runs up the center, fading to white at its base. Over it, a small all-caps "METHODOLOGY" label sits above a centered column of medium-weight white sans copy describing Complex Collective's research platform and an April 2021 survey of 100+ people aged 18 to 34 across the US. A small italic footnote ("Sourced from Complex Collective's community of over 30,000 members") sits at the bottom. The boxed COMPLEX | COLLECTIVE logo anchors the bottom-right.
Key takeaway
Floating the methodology text directly on a photocopied scan, rather than in a clean box, keeps the documentary zine feel even on a dry housekeeping slide. The small italic source footnote adds credibility without clutter.
Reuse notes
A clean way to handle the obligatory methodology slide in a research report. The centered-over-texture treatment is reusable; keep the footnote for sourcing. Works best when the copy is concise enough to stay legible against the texture.
