A few weeks ago I embarked on a massive house cleaning project, during which time I collected together all the ticket stubs I could find. Movies, concerts, tourist attractions–there was memorabilia of all sorts. Since then, I’ve been looking for an album in which to store these paper items. I found just the perfect thing while thrift shopping:
Totally awesome.
So, I don’t really like collaging any more.
It’s something I loved to do in highschool (with real live scissors and paper)
But… I just don’t really like doing it anymore.
The imperfection of it is what irritates me, I guess- I can never find the images I want when I want them.
Easier to just make the images from scratch.
Anyway. One of my school assignments was to make a digital collage. So I did.
I can’t say I particularly enjoyed the process, but it wasn’t as irritating as I expected.
I do like the huge amount of flexibility there is in doing this digitally.
Not terribly satisfied with the final product, but when all’s said and done, I’m glad I did it, and I’ll probably do more like it to explore the possibilities here (which are possibly endless).
Less words more thing. Working title, “Matryoshka? Chernobyl?”:
PS: Technically I guess this counts as ”following instructions,” ”shoot it again” (since I reused someone else’s images), and … possibly ”war.”
Well, now it feels worth it ;-)
