'Hello Beautiful' Brief: Collage Work and Themes.

To generate more ideas, my tutors had the idea of, almost censoring magazine and newspaper articles. picking out key words with positive connotations. This was extremely helpful and I created a mind map of all the words I'd picked out afterwards.


After this I wanted to do something different, so I picked out some key words from my mind map. 'Beauty', 'Power', 'Different', 'Growth' and 'Life' were my favourites. I started creating collage using found imagery, my first was around the word 'Power'. 

I wasn't sure about the one on the left, it's really weak and doesn't strike you in the same way the one on the right does.

'Beauty'

I really like my second image of someone almost drowning in cosmetics.

'Different'.


I think this one works as a spread because of the connection with the text.
I like a few of the outcomes here but overall I'm not that keen. I think I could've used a wider range of media and explored the words a little more. I'd like to work with found media again at some point, and maybe in a little more depth than what I produced here.
