Visual Language - Collage

College:

• Our task was to make a poster that advertised something of our choice.
• It had to made with found imagery.
• I found a selection magazines and cut out a selection of images that could work well together.

• I found an image of a guy with his arms around someone.
• I though it would be funny to put his arms around a dog instead.
• I cut the dog up and extended its body. I then filled in the body with a grey colour and added simple mark making on top for the fur.
• I then placed them both so they were on a sofa which adds to the funny situation.
• I then did a really basic cut out floor to give a slight perspective to the image, and also benefits the composition.
• I decided on making it an RSPCA poster after I had finished the design, I felt this suited what was being suggested in the picture with guy hugging the dog. And it being sat on the sofa in the centre (showing importance).
• The thing that is most effective in the image is the way that I have added drawn media to the dog in order to distort it.
• Its interesting to see how found images can manipulated and re-arranged to give a totally different meaning and visual quality.
