I tried to make collages based on each of my six designers using their own work as well as collage material with the intention of developing these into a poster combining all 6. I really struggled with this task as I put too much time and effort into each individual collage - causing them to look overworked. Upon reflection I did not fully understand the task and took it too far. The collages are, in my opinion, unsuccessful as they mimic the designers work too closely, shown mostly in the Max Bill Responses. The ones that had potential were Reid Miles and Wolfgang Weignhart as the process was quicker and less complex.
In order to make a successful poster I need to be able to simplify the design elements, otherwise they will all fight each other and not work harmoniously. I will also move away from cutting and sticking and towards the scanner as this process is so much quicker.
