Reflections
For this task we were required to search for magazines and newspapers, which would be cut out and paste together. Although the contents of the magazine were at random, I find it easy to work with them to create compositions and layouts.
Overall, I really enjoyed composing my collage although it requires a lot of time, precision, and patience to cut out the pieces. This task feels like a great introduction to the module as we were introduce on how to make a composition before making it into a digital one.
