For this project you are to create a digital collage depicting an invented landscape/environment. Think about your own neighborhood or areas of Chicago you frequent as a place to start. Consider the scenery and surroundings of your neighborhood and Chicago, the positive aspects, man-made structures, natural elements as well as the things that are negative, unnecessary or do not improve the quality of life for a community. Create a
juxtaposition by combining images that do not seem to belong together to develop a visual
paradox.
Step 1: Brainstorm!
What type of images do you want to look for? Make a list if needed.
Step 2: Image Search. Using Google image search or other search engines or photo sites to collect 20 high quality images. When using Google image search, only use medium and large images to make sure they do not become pixelated in your project. Also, do not just use the images that come up first, look through several pages to find a variety of images.
