This assignment revolved around the idea of collage, and students had to utilize Adobe Photoshop in order to create a series of digital collages in the form of three unique postcards. The dimensions of the postcards could be 5.5 x 8 inches, or 6 x 11 inches. Students could decide to incorporate both sizes.
Every postcard had a specific theme, touching on current economical, political and/or social issues.
While working on the assignment, students were encouraged to think of how other elements – besides just found images on the web – might be utilized into their collages. Students could scan surfaces, “textures”, textiles and other objects and use that in their work. Students could write or draw elements, scan them and also bring those into their work.
