Collage Environment


I decided to make my collage look like a jungle in outer space. I had originally wanted to do a jungle scene, and thought it would look more surreal if I placed it in outer space. My goal was to make the scene look very mystical. I placed the car flying over the planet because I wanted it to look like a safari in space, and the safari was looking over the tigers. I then made the birds bigger than the tigers to make it look surreal. I also thought the birds looked majestic because they were so bold and colorful and really wanted to demonstrate that in the picture. On the bottom I placed flowers with a butterfly on them. I then placed a small tiger pouncing on the butterfly because I thought it looked cool that the tiger and butterfly were about the same size, which usually does not happen. In all I was pleased with how my collage came out because I had a goal of making it look mystical and surreal, and I think that I achieved that.

Magazine Cover


I decided to make my magazine cover on Vogue. I wanted to use Jennifer Lawrence on the cover because she is my favorite actress. I used a picture of myself in the corner because I did not want my picture to be the main focus of the cover. I also wanted to add some Thanksgiving recipes because I don't think that is something you would usually see in Vogue, so I wanted to make it a little different. I looked at a lot of pictures of magazines to get an idea of what I wanted to do, but ultimately went in a completely different direction with the style because I really wanted to use a landscape photo of Jennifer Lawrence because I thought it was a really captivating image. I also put fashion into my magazine because that is something that I am interested in. I also used a picture of Harry Styles too add to the pop culture portion of the magazine. In all, I tried to incorporate ideas that I would like to see in a magazine and bring that to life in my own magazine cover.
