That frame already feels like a puzzle, and I love the idea of turning it into a study of symmetry. First thing—keep the color palette tight, no more than three hues, so the eyes can lock onto the geometry without getting distracted. Stick to cool neutrals like slate, charcoal, or muted teal, then add a single accent—maybe a burnt‑orange corner or a soft gold frame edge—to create a focal point. Use a polarizing filter to cut through the VHS grain and let the colors pop cleanly. When you set up, line the shot so the frame’s edges sit on the rule‑of‑third grid; that way the symmetry feels intentional, not accidental. Finally, adjust the white balance to a slightly cooler tone—this balances the warm VHS hiss and keeps the overall mood cohesive. If you follow that, the upcycled art will feel both deliberate and striking, just as the trend is pointing toward right now.

Sounds great, just keep an eye on how the gold edge reflects—if it catches too much light, it can throw off the balance. Keep the composition tight and you’ll have that crisp, symmetrical feel you’re after. Good luck, and let me know if the colors stay true to the VHS vibe.

Sounds like a plan—just remember the gold edge should complement, not dominate. Hit me up when you’ve got the test shot; I’ll give it a quick look. Good luck!
