Project 1A: Physical Collage Design
In Week 2 we are tasked to collect newspaper and magazine cut out the images. And make 3 different compositions out of those images. From there Mr. Yusoff will pick out the best composition. I don't have any newspaper and magazines at home, so my mother's friend helps me collect the magazines and the newspapers. Majority of them are educational or travel related magazines. Which makes it difficult to find a good element.
