As I was doing my work, I realised I needed more inspiration and guidance to help me get the right look. For the last research I did in my first post didn’t really provide good design reference. For now, I think I’m okay with achieving the vintage/historical look but I need my designs to be more graphical and exciting.
- RANDY MORA
Here, I can see that the artist plays a lot with proportion to create a fantasy world. What is meant to be small is big and vice versa.
He also puts repeating lines if he wants to bring focus to somethings. Either that, or the biggest object in the picture is where we’ll look at first. There is great balance and flow to how we look at these images even though there are a lot of things to look at.
That’s what excites me the most about collage. When I face a work made out of diverse elements, I have the urge to get closer and just touch it. While a painting requires a certain distance and a contemplative posture, collage on the other hand, is more an intimate experience, less ceremonial.

There is some sort of a storytelling through these pictures. He uses very simple shapes and almost no textures here. Unlike Randy Mora, the design here is very minimalistic. There are disproportion, repetitive lines etc. However, the communication remains clear using composition and negative space. Also, he uses the same character in all the designs.

Actually these are snapshots taken from a video.
I find that the play of lines and negative spaces are endless. You could create illusions and tell a story in such simple technique.
5. LUCIE HARD’IE
In Lucie’s work there is surrealism. The hair of the lady forms the hills. The hair from other lady are the seaweed/coral to form an underwater scene with someone floating in it. The last picture had symmetry although the two ladies are not the same person.
