Basic compositions:
1. Focal point: Naturally attract viewer's eyes on the important pieces of the design first.

Practical:

Pre-Composition #1

I try to find all kinds of element for Fashion, eg: bag, perfume, model etc. To add contrast, I try to find grey elements and colorful elements.

Pre-Composition #2 

'Reading can be beneficial to our mind'

Pre-Composition #3

The main theme is 'LOVE'. To add more sweetness to it I use bright cute colors like pink, orange and yellow, to give a 'Love blooming in the spring' vibe.

FINAL 

DESCRIPTION:

My main concept is about "Diversity in Fashion". Nowadays, Fashion is such a hot topic in our society, "dress freely" is a style that I am pursuing. In my opinion, Fashion is all about confidence, creating your own style and being comfortable with it. As you can see there are some words "Style your way" "FAB" and I include a lot of colors in my collage, just want to bring out and emphasize the core message.

REFLECTIVE WRITING:

This week exercises are about finding elements and understanding how collage was made. It is a fun exercise! We get to tear and stick, using all kinds of pieces to create a beautiful collage.
