COLLAGE DESIGN ELEMENTS

Instructions: 

1. Choose and identify your collage's design elements to be cut out and compose it into your own concept & story.
2. Pre compositing your collage's design elements into a composition.

We were asked to bring our materials for collage and do our physical collage in class.

The physical collage that I've made in class:

Figure 1.1 Behind the scene of doing the physical collaging

Figure 1.2 Collage of hand and butterfly pictures from magazine and flower petals

Figure 1.3 Collage with the theme of walking towards the sunshine.
Using the monthly calendar of September and materials from magazine. 

Figure 1.4 Collage made from magazine cut outs and stamps

Figure 1.5 Collage made from magazine cut outs and old calendar.

I reuse the materials that I have to form some of the composition for the physical collage.
After I am sure to go with the certain composition or layout, I then glue them to the paper.
