Project 1A - Physical College
Firstly, I take a quick glance to the magazine and cut out the elements which inspired me. I also try to find out the picture which can express what I want to tell. After I have some picture and I try to check out the magazine again to look more detail in the magazine so that I won't miss up any good element.
The elements to be used in my collage :
Her Life
The collage is shown the old lady's entire life. She eat the clock seem she want to earn more time in this life. Through this collage, we can see the things around her which is the most important things to her. The lady maybe is a noble and rich in her life as you can see her life was fully filled by properties and no worried. She looks eager to have more time to enjoy it. Life is short, enjoy the moment.

Step 1: Cut out design elements
- Explore and search for any interesting graphics from old magazines or any printed materials.
- Cut the shapes of pictures that you are choosing.
- Repeat the steps to collect your cut out design elements.
Step 2: Pre-compositing
1. Find an interesting background canvas
2. Start compositing the cut out design elements
3. Play around with the composition and layer arrangement.
Step 3: Final composition
1. Once you’re satisfied with your pre-compositing, start glueing the cut out based on the layer by layer arrangements.
2. Document your work in progress on each step and upload it to your E-Portfolio blogs for the weekly contents update.
3. Take photo of your collage and insert on the submission section below:
The figure below show that the tool I use to finish this exercise. The
magazines I use to find out the elements of my physical collage and some
tools to finish the collage. For instance scissor, cutting knife, a
board and glue.

1. Pre-composition #1
A Shot of Life
A Shot of Life
In our life, we have to keep trying all kinds of experience. Those
roller coaster and cable car are two type of choices to live. Roller
coaster is stimulating and fast whereas the cable car is in slow speed
as you could have a good view of the scenery passed by. The bar code
with a red horizontal line below means that we are not defined by
secular criterion and "Find out more" on yourself，you are unlimited
possibilities! The circle in orange colour is a sun which means that it
can light up the entire world and sunshine is able to make your
day~

Vintage Label
It's to bring all of you back to the vintage century. All the elements are represent to the century. Wonderful woman and the delicate make up are representative the vintage style. It is like taking us back in a time machine.I added some line and eyes to make it more active and vivid.

1. Pre-composition #1
Inside Fish
I clipped out the letter of typewriter using Magic Wand tool and recolour it using "adjustments-curves" function. I make some deformation on the background through "puppet warp" function in Photoshop. I also use "Polygonal Lasso Tool" clipped out the lightning and the circle behind the beta fishes also used the same tool to cut out.Furthermore, I recolour the circle to make it match the colour of the beta fish. I divided the fish body and head into half and putting in diformated building ,a man and plants.

2. Pre-composition #2
New flashes
The background was recoloured using "Channel Mixer" and using the
"Brightness/Contrast" to make it have a contrast between front and
back. I change the colour of "texture_liquid.jpeg" into negative
colour and erased the end of two beta fishes and recolour some
texture on them using "brush tool". The staircase was using the tool
"vanishing point" to completed as well as added shadows on the stair
plane. If you look closely, you can also see the beam extending from
the door shining on people which I used "radial blur" to make it.

An Ordinary Day
I used "Lasso Tool" to cut out the shape of the orange background and lower the opacity of the "texture_liquid.jpeg" to make it less abrupt. I gave the enlarged people an enlarged head. I using "vanishing point" to make the texture and material of the building to make it more special from the common building.

Feedback
Week 3
Mr Martin said that my first physical collage is manipulating. It let
the audience's eyes go through the back and front of the collage. The
second collage idea was interesting which was the old man eating the
clock. My physical collages were praised.
Week 4
My first pre-composition was already complicated and interesting. Mr
Martin also said he like the bubble head of my third pre-composition. Mr
Martin said he would preferred the first pre-composition.
Week 5
For e-portfolio, Mr Martin said my process was detailing and good. Mr
Martin also told me to keep doing on this way.
REFLECTION

Experience :
Physical Collage
At the beginning, I found a lot of material and try to put them together randomly but when I done it I feel it was no theme and fall apart. So it was important to conceive the placement of materials and find out ways to have stories or connections between each materials.

Digital Collage
I haven't use Photoshop so indeed before so I'm very hard to start my
design because most of my idea can't work in Photoshop. I don't know
which tool or function to use. Honestly, it was really frustrated. So
I tried to watched tutorial video for beginner and leaned from the
simple basic. After that, I tried to find out some tutorials to guide
me how to implement my existing design in Photoshop.
Observation :
Collage works need to have a lot of creative thinking and also the knowledge of design principle such as golden ratio, scale & hierarchy and etc which can make my design more interesting and attractive. Photoshop is a very versatile application waiting me to discovered!
