Before online vaults of inspirational pictures were accessible at the click of a mouse,
there were magazines and printed photographs. Full color, curated images that we’d
treat ourselves to thumbing through at the end of a busy day.
In this class, we’re going to reconnect with the printed images to incorporate magazine
images to create pops of color and visual texture in a way that can be tricky to create
from scratch. I’ll show you how to approach a page as a study of sorts to conjure up
sweet vignettes of color and form from magazine images that are totally transformed
from their original state. If you are drawn to images you see in magazines and aren’t
sure how to use them or if you love using images but want to learn new ways to alter
them to be more original to you and your style, this class offers both for you to create
intriguing visual interest and focus with the found magazine images you love.
