Digital Collage

The purpose of this project was to use different mediums, including hand-drawing, photography, and digital drawing, as well as different software such as Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe Photoshop, to create a collage.

First, I created patterns using various hand-drawing, Illustrator, and Photoshop techniques. Using Photoshop, I applied these patterns to surfaces including the sofa, table, carpet, and woman’s sweater.

Next, I stylized photographs using Illustrator and Photoshop to use as paintings in the final collage. I also cut out images from stock photos to use as props.

Finally, I captured images around campus to use as basis of collage. I collaborated with a classmate to obtain a human subject. My goal for the final collage was to join all elements into a unified indoor and outdoor space. I combined the raw images in Photoshop and edited to add an enhanced sunlight effect, a sketched wall and ceiling detail, and the decorative objects.
