Collage Development.

I wanted to share with you, my collage work I have developed for this 'Get it Loud in Libraries' brief we had earlier this year. I developed the collages because I felt that although my first set are good and they did answer my brief, I wanted to play more with my idea of character collages but with a much more modern and contemporary style and to also have the images fit my style of my portfolio.

Here's my final images. (all on A3, portrait)

When thinking about compositions for this brief, I knew from the beginning that I wanted to look at collage and at the very beginning of my research, with the influence from the original publication I got from the library, 'Our Betty' I loved the idea of using a frame in the image. Like this one from a previous post. It's almost like mixing the traditional with the new: much like the dictionary.

When trying to work out compositions for the final images, I also played with trying to create the faces of these characters. I do like this effect, but at the minute I'm unsure as to which composition I prefer.
