Image Workshop


In this session we discussed the process of collage and produced images that create an interesting and weird piece of visual communication.

We looked at various themes used in collage, eg. composition, editing, contrast, rythm, texture, repurposing, juxtaposition, surrealism, narrative and humor.



We picked one of the themes and produced a collage to demonstrate this theme.
Here are three collages I created, each one in response to a theme:






Narrative: In this collage, the focus was on Peter Crouch and the England team running out of steam with the World Cup in South Africa so close.




This collage carries the story on from the first one with a little satire. Darren explained how 'less is more', that being the reason for a lot of white space.



Finally, here's my collage of four pieces produced in response to Darren's "as many as you can in 20 minutes" challenge. To speed things up I chose to create a 'stressed' and 'happy' set of collages.
