Because there are no restrictions and no technical requirements in the specific operation of collage of works, many students know that collage is simple and easy to use, but it is not clear which majors it is applicable to and how it can be used to excel. Now let's take graphic design and illustration design as an example to introduce how to make collages of works?

　　 Collage of graphic design works:

Collage technique as Studying Abroad in Fashion Design As part of the basic courses, many students also believe that collage art is an exclusive skill of clothing design. However, graphic design is the most closely related to the development of collage art.

At the earliest time of the rise of pop art, collage emerged as a form of graphic design and has developed so far. The choice of materials has also changed from newspapers and old photos at that time to graphic artists who use various new technologies and software to create more complex collages.

The current trend has also given us some inspiration. Graphic design works have long been not limited to single form visual works such as posters, graphic advertisements, logo design, etc., but also to use collage techniques to help get out of the "software" framework and find more comprehensive materials and more yuan of inspiration in life.

When choosing collage materials for graphic works, we can make rational use of the contrast of colors, textures and elements of materials according to the theme, transform the visual conflict of this true texture outside the works, break the constraints of the plane, and create a visual effect of emptiness and reality of space.

This is also very suitable for students to create creative books, three-dimensional posters, installation space and other "interdisciplinary" forms of graphic works, three-dimensional some abstract concepts, and use these expansionary real elements to convey different levels of emotions and emotions.

　　 Collage of illustration design works:

　　 Studying Art Abroad We often discuss illustration design and pure art together. In addition to emphasizing the specialty of "good painting", illustration and pure art also rely heavily on the expression of designer's personal style to infect the audience.

Collage is an expression with high degree of freedom and maximum expression of designer's imagination. The whole network resources, books, posters, and photos can all be the material of works. We make full use of multiple ways to mix and match these secondary materials and give illustration works another color, texture, texture, and emotion.

In addition, we often say that the most important feature of illustration works is narrative. Whether it is artistic illustration or commercial illustration or other creative styles, the core of illustration works is to tell a story and trigger the audience's understanding and thinking.

And the "visual illusion" created by using authentic collage materials is also more likely to resonate with the audience. For example, in our hand-painted illustration works, we "graft" real characters, scene materials, or detailed decorations. This virtual and real mix and match is easier to help people open their minds and enter our stories.

Secondly, we all know that the most feared effect of collage works is "chaos", but because the creation method of illustration design itself is to first have the theme and story motif, collage is just a harmonious creation form. Under the control of the theme, we use collage to experiment, constantly produce collisions, and stimulate our creative inspiration, And gradually sort out a set of reasonable and beautiful creation forms.

Finally, I also suggest that you can try to combine more forms of expression in illustration works, create "materials" by collage, hand painting, comprehensive materials or digital processing, and use the collision of different materials to create magical realism images for your works.
