handmade / Xerox
Photocopy collage lyric video
Words arrive on torn paper strips, a line at a time. Xerox turns your cover into photocopy texture and gives the chorus a change of light.
Built for words that keep coming
Xerox works well with quick verses, rap and rough-edged rock. Short strips keep a busy line moving; halftone texture gives each cut a printed surface. The chorus reverses the contrast, so a repeated hook feels like a change of scene.
Paper with a pulse
The movement comes in small, deliberate jumps. Edges move, type shifts and layers change with the line. Your cover supplies the visual starting point, so two songs need not look like the same poster.
Keep the fastest line readable
Start with a medium size and preview your busiest verse. A short phrase can take large type; a dense sentence needs more room. Check the portrait version separately before choosing the clip you download.

A few things to know
Does Xerox need a person on my cover?
No. It can use artwork without a person.
Will a fast rap verse fit?
Xerox is suited to fast verses. Preview the densest line, then reduce Size if the words need more room.
What changes at the chorus?
The photocopy treatment reverses its contrast, giving the hook a different visual weight.
