I've mentioned before that I'm attending the New York Institute of Art and Design. Here is a poster collage I had to create for one of my projects.
This project was designed to bring out creativity and inspiration. Although I created this project a while back, I still find myself feeling inspiration from this poster.
If you're a designer you may want to try this exercise out for yourself. Grab some old magazines and find photo's that inspire and make you smile. Cut them out. Find a nice size poster board and glue the images on.
Viola! Instant inspiration.
Oh, did I mention I received an A+.
Here is a visual of cutting circles and then rearranging the pieces. It's easy peasy.
This tutorial requires a blade cutter, a acrylic roller and a pasta machine.
Try to select colors that are sure to blend well. Adding a bold color and a light color to the mix really makes the colors blend well.
Directions
- Pick out 4 complimentary colors.
Rainy day in normally sunny California. Rained yesterday, raining today. Great weekend to play with some clay. I picked out some colors in gold and brown, made a few canes, sliced them up, and here is the outcome: faux wood.
I think this looks great! Definitely will use these beads to make a necklace. I bet translucent, pearl and turquoise would also make some beautiful results. I will definitely try those colors next time.
