Postcards from Binghamton

This assignment revolved around the idea of collage and its processes, and students had to utilize Adobe Photoshop in order to create a series of digital collages in the form of three unique postcards. The dimensions of the postcards could be 5.5 x 8 inches, or 6 x 11 inches. Students could decide to incorporate both sizes.

Every postcard had a specific theme, touching on current economical, political and/or social issues.

While working on the assignment, students were encouraged to think of how other elements – besides just found images on the web – might be utilized into their collages. Students could scan surfaces, and/or objects and use that in their work. Students could write or draw elements, scan them and also bring those into their work.
