Collage is much more than trimming and pasting images, it is also reusing materials that have been discarded and connecting them to tell a story, precisely something that Randy Mora - specialist collage specialist - has dedicated more than 10 years, taking his creations to editorial publications such as Wired, The New York Times, The Guardian, The Malpensante, The Hollywood Reporter or Editorial Planeta.
In this course you will learn, from the hand of a collage reference, to make an illustration with the digital collage technique to apply it to a product with a commercial purpose.
