The Lake Collage

I'm happy to announce that i've finally made another collage.
This one uses only images from National Geographic U.S. Ed. April 2007.

Here is a little video i did for the Making Off (in YouTube: Making Off - The Lake Collage):




I also took some photos during the process. Check it out here on flickr.

Boipeba - Digital Collage

Now i'm finally back to digital collaging!!! Just finished it, working for 3 nights on this:

boipeba

I used only my photos (mostly from boipeba - bahia, brazil). I'm really tired of this copyright nonsense, locking for images i can use freely, gonna take more photos now again. To see the original photos, pass the mouse over the image boipeba @ flickr.com. I also posted a screenshot of the photoshop layers so you can take a look on how easy it is to make this things:

I made it specially to use as wallpaper, but for my monitor needed to cut the sides a but, you can get it here (1280x1024 px).

Like always, you can get the original size (nice print quality) for free.

Check if it fits before cutting

Here is a little video tutorial i made on how to check if an image will fit in your collage.

How to take a Photo of a Collage

thats the way:
- using 2 lamps (40W) making a 45º light incision on the image/collage/painting;
- the ladder i've used as Manual Image Stabilization;
- to further the Stabilization process i've made a 2s SelfTimer.
- Then, afterwards on photoshop you might use Levels>SetWhitePoint to make to white, white! (because of the bad light).

It (kind of) works like a charm, altough i prefer my scanner for the smaller collages. So now you'll see 2 bigger analog collages i've made on 2004 and 2005 (and hadn't worked out a way to digitalize them - they're framed!)

Collage_Panda

Collage, like any other stuff, really works only if you're inspired.
Two hours ago (0h00 of 09/16) i started one. Again, using only one Magazine, which was, of course a National Geographic.
So i used the US Edition of July 2006, which has nice Panda photos.

I took some photos during the gluing process, enjoy:

1. all images (+source) and material (glue, scissor, black 'cartolina')



2. Cutting the Panda's legs out!



3. Gluing the Panda (i'm using this as Wallpaper):



4. Finished!, now i've to cut the collage out of the black paper (cartolina):


5. So it looks this way:



Done in 1h!
+ 1h for flickr&blog. (2am now)... going to bed.
You can see this photos bigger here.
Update: Here is the Edited Panda Collage.
