Paper Collage experiment

Part of my original brief was to do paper collage for my final outcome using some of my geometric designs.

So I have set about to create a contemporary paper collage design using my own designs. The result is below.

I think that although some of the individual pieces of this design look nice, frustratingly it is not great for two reasons:-

1. Too many rounded rectangles
2. The spray mount shows through the tracing paper

The next time I do paper collage I will use double sided tape and PVA glue not spray mount. 

This little glimpse into paper collage has made me think that perhaps my designs are not too suited to collage and I will be exploring more photography mixed in with my geometric designs for a more successful outcome - I hope.

I made a Plan

I made a Plan, to do a Plan, planning in great detail the things I needed to do... 3 hours later I had my Plan with all the planning held within in. I looked at the Plan and was very proud of the Plan, it looked rather good.
The plan is a work of art in its own right; it's colour coded and beautifully laid out in two columns.

Did it help me? Well, I would love to say "NO!" being an anti-plan type of person, but actually it HAS helped massively. It has taken away all those thoughts that were invading my dreams at night and transferred them onto lovely white paper.

So, guess I had better go and do some work, or at least Plan to do some...
