In this really interesting video about Atelier Bingo's process - it is revealed that the two will make collages by cutting shapes out of paper with different marks, texture, colour etc. and then they will transfer the colours to screen-printable plastic and get to work printing the final outcome.
At one point in the video, Favreau said that their collages will usually effect the mood that they were in when they picked the particular colours or cut a certain shape. I think that in the future I would like to hold onto this idea and when making collages of my own, remember to think about what idea I am trying to represent, and hold that in mind when choosing colours and cutting shapes.
Looking at their work makes me ask questions about my own - what will I try to convey through my collages? How can I express my findings on the safety pin through collage? It is a good way to think of justifications for my work: why have I chosen that colour? cut that shape? made that arrangement? I think that the simplicity of Atelier Bingo's work is key when it comes to the basic beginnings of the posters.
