FUCK INDUSTRIAL LOGGING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brazil = tropical paradise. Exuberant nature, beautiful people, rich culture and relaxed lifestyle. Unfortunately the story doesn't end there. The thing thing that pisses me off the most is the day to day destruction of the Amazon rain forest, its indigenous tribes and its flora and fauna.
It's just simply sad that in millions/billions of years of evolution a human mind has not reached further than "I'll do anything for money & power". And somehow, the whole World is helpless in doing anything about it. Oh sure, everyone's got more important things to worry about - such as getting soldiers in and out of Afghanistan and figuring out who's to blame for all the mess. The whole World is in the same shit. It's quite obvious - there is one global government and it's obviously run by ignorant wankers driven by power to destroy and take care of their own sick interests.
Inspired by this, I've created a collage expressing my vision of amazingly lush Brazil unfortunately being ruined on a daily basis by people that just don't care as long as they have their Rolex.

COLLAGE: MODS VS ROCKERS
This is a collage I've just created and I plan to screen print it when I get back to uni. It's gonna be red, blue and b/w. It is the 2nd one in the Mod series, portraying the on going clashes between Mods and Rockers. Can't wait.

100 COLLAGES: WELCOME TO COLLAGE LAND
There is a light at the end of the tunnel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ; )
I am finally coming to the bottom of 100 collages. Needless to say, 100 is a fair bit but the process is highly enjoyable (well, most of the time). I have realized that some days I just wanna do as many as possible without considering them too much and some other days I wanna create something beautiful. Also, some days the creation of them flows better than others as it seems that you need to be a bit RANDOM with the whole thing. I am not going to mention the mess my house was in during the process, quite sincerely, I have turned it into Collage land (if seen by cleaning freak=nervous breakdown guaranteed ; )).
At some point the situation got so bad that everything was covered in newspapers, mags and cut-outs. Here is an example of re-discovered f-flop...
my desk...
...has turned into one big collage!
how cool is that?!
I would also like to mention that I have experimented with different ways of working during the whole time. At the beginning I just went through newspapers and mags and cut out things that had potential. After doing this for a while the collages got a bit boring so I searched for colour paper, different materials, etc. to make them more appealing. Also, at the beginning I caught myself doing the same mistake that we all did at the collage making workshop with Darren - I over crammed the space. As a result there are too many things happening and there was no focus. I have later payed more attention to it and collages started looking more beautiful, clean and focused on particular thing. I also tried to separate text and image cut-outs into 2 bags but the best technique has proven to be separating text and images on my desk and then standing up and seeing possible combinations. I still have a week to go before the hand out so I'm probably going to try to make some more and then choose the best ones.

COLLAGE PARTY
As fun as it gets!
This is the final result. Needless to say, everybody had loads of fun and it certainly added quality to your average Saturday night out. Now I only have one problem, I don't want to cut it into small pieces, it looks too cool like it is.
P.s. nights out should definitely be more like this.

COLLAGE WORKSHOP 1ST EXERCISE
Create collages based on one of the following themes:
composition, editing, contrast, rhythm, texture, re-purposing, juxtaposition, surrealism, narrative, humor
These were the first results

COLLAGE WORKSHOP 2ND EXERCISE
After the first exercise we concluded that everyone just crammed too many pieces of paper onto the page and hardly left any white space. Collages were too full and the main object on them (if they had one) did not stand out. Everyone kept this in mind when creating new ones as we can see on the above examples.
COLLAGE WORKSHOP 3RD EXERCISE
On the 3rd exercise we were asked to design as many collages as we can in the given time. Some people made loads of them, most of us made 4-5 of them. On the above examples you can see a certain repetition which I guess speeds up the process.
