COLLAGE DESIGN

After looking at the work in Ebbe & Blut and Leeaya Aikawa I wanted to try out creating some collages of women from the 50’s sitting on objects which leak. I chose a ladel of sauce, a red candle, a pot of paint and an icream with strawberry sauce. I wanted to make sure there was a variety of objects not just food to enhance the idea that alot of things leak not just women. I feel the outcomes are particularly successful and also convey a playful look as seen in both Ebbe & Blut and Leeaya Aikawa’s work. I really like the way the women of the 50’s contrast with the idea of visibly bleeding as this is something which would have been extremely frowned upon back then. After trying out different colours for the backgrounds, I feel that a spectrum of pinks is the most affective and will flow the best within the magazine. It also adds a sense of ‘femininity whch helps enhance the females in the imagery and the fact they are of an era where it was key to be feminine.
