Collage Series
Each collage contains a theme. The first is a collage full of some of the most famous comic book superheroes. Here, I placed all heroes sporadically across the page. I then traced them with triangular shapes to make them appear in a low-poly design. The next theme focuses on courage and conquering fear. I illustrated photos of people facing their fears and fit them in a rising fist of empowerment. The final one is about inspiration and who people look up to. I found photos of a firewoman, a martial artist, a stunt motorcyclist, and a cowboy and greyscaled them for the background, with former president Obama taking the foreground.
In this section, I have my set of illustrative collages. This was one of the very first design projects I did at Rutgers. I was tasked to create three collages with a common theme for each design. I made them from pictures I cut from various magazines and placed them together. Then, I used Adobe Illustrator to illustrate them uniquely.
Every piece here relates to one another. They all relate to the inspiration for people to become better versions of themselves. Whether it’s about finding bravery or looking up to a figure, fictional or not, these collages exemplify the feeling of encouragement. This project was finished in November 2017.
