Figure 1.5 - Collage Inspiration 1, Week 1 (29 Aug
2022) (image by Jazeera) |
Description:
The collage is using a warm tone, giving a lovely vibe to the audience.
Besides, the simplicity of the collage perfectly shows the casualty vibe
for the summer. In addition, simply hold the attention of the audience
of what’s the outfits trend for the summer or a casual breakfast
occasion.

Description:
This collage represents the multi characters of a korean female
celebrity. The contrast of each alphabet draws the attention of the
audience and makes people have a quick recognition of the singer’ name.
Moreover, the collage represents various characteristics of the
celebrity with her outfits and expression. In addition, it quickly
influenced the audience of her charismatics with the combination of her
present of her private life, stage performance or attending the fashion

Description:
This collage, although simple yet perfectly illustrates decades of
history (rock and roll) of this luxury brand. It was combined with the
most chic collection attire from Mr. YSL throughout the years since
1961, the brand was established. Besides, it emphasises the simplicity
of the house with only black and white. The collage is also catching the
eyeballs of the audience with its iconic YSL logo on the front of their
bags and heels.
Physical Collage
Assisting materials are provided and uploaded in the lecture slides
and Google Classroom. Then, we were asked to prepare materials from
any media for our collage. We were encouraged to try on several
compositions before the class. Mr. Fauzi had mentioned that the
collage design is up to us to design and no restrictions
applied.
The media that I used was a magazine that I recently bought.
