Collage Postcards

Collage Postcards: We Are Here

This project brief required us to design a set of five postcards responding to the area surrounding Studio 5A using the medium of collage. The prompt given was: We Are Here.

Concept Statement

To respond to the brief of ‘We Are Here’, I decided to explore the collective emotions of first years transitioning and beginning the journey of university. When coming up with the idea, I engaged in conversation with my peers to discuss their experience of the first couple of weeks of university and the emotions they confronted. The chosen emotions for the final postcards were the most common feelings between all the students I had spoken to. I employed colour theory and shape psychology to best evoke and represent these five emotions; excitement, anxiety, stress, isolation and belonging.
