Who is this online course for?

This course is for any illustrator, designer, or ordinary person who wants to exchange their pencils and computers for scissors, at least for a few hours.

Requirements and materials

Are you a good observer? Perfect. That is the base you need to make an impressive editorial collage. No prior knowledge is necessary for this course, just some very basic tools: scissors, a cutter, some adhesive, and, above all, a handful of old magazines.
