Play Play Play: process and construction notes


 This has been the first time I've really investigated collage and papercut as a medium so it took some planning out and technical problem solving! For example, when piecing together the collage I quickly realised that it would be easier to make the pieces purposely too large/ create tabs to stick them together rather than create the exact shapes and have to delicately piece them together with extra slices of paper.



The great thing about collage is that you can move the pieces around and experiment as you go along. My original intention for the type as image piece was a floating portal door, but I was worried that it was too much of an illustration and wouldn't be counted for that category.



It was suggested I look at adding a door to the 'portal', maybe even an interactive one. It would create more of a narrative than just a plain image. However, I felt aesthetically it looked messy and unrefined (and again, too much of an illustration).
