hi everyone anth kler here with a new
0:11
video tutorial and today I'm going to
0:13
show you how to make a magazine collage
0:16
so I'm going to work on a small piece of
0:18
paper I want to make a small collage so
0:22
um it doesn't matter what size of page
0:24
you're going to work
0:26
on um few important principles when you
0:31
want to make a magazine
0:33
collage what you need to look for are a
0:35
few things first you need to look for
0:38
interesting things for the background I
0:40
like to tear the pages that I find
0:43
interesting and put them
0:46
aside also the other thing that you want
0:49
to look for is a bodies interesting
0:53
bodies with full
0:56
hands you want them to sit down to ride
0:59
a b icle to be on the back of a horse or
1:02
something then you also want to look for
1:08
faces and then interesting items that
1:11
can be accessories like this one can be
1:13
a really pretty
1:15
hat or a bag things that can be like a
1:18
purse or a bag uh animals are nice to
1:22
find to add to your cage plants things
1:25
like
1:26
that I like this color of the blue the
1:29
pool pool for Border it's also part of a
1:33
background I like this
1:36
yellowy uh
1:38
umbrella and this part for a trail this
1:43
part is like looks like a plant want to
1:45
use that too I like the
1:49
glasses she has a really pretty
1:52
face and she also has a pretty face and
1:56
I like the girl on the bicycle that's
1:58
interesting to use
2:01
use and also here you can see a hat you
2:05
can see the
2:07
giraffe that you can use here you have
2:10
some leaves and these earrings also
2:13
resemble leaves to me that I can use so
2:16
I like to go over magazine and tear out
2:20
pages with the bodies faces eyes
2:24
accessories backgrounds that I like and
2:26
simply start working so the first thing
2:29
I want to do is attach this yellow
2:34
and uh white umbrella as a background I
2:38
really like that
2:40
color and for magazine collage I like to
2:44
use dry glue I always tell you to use
2:46
liquid glue but not this time we don't
2:48
want the paper to wrinkle sometimes the
2:51
magazine papers are kind of thin so we
2:55
want to make sure that we don't have any
2:57
wrinkles but you do have to apply the
2:59
glue glue to the entire surface of the
3:02
paper that you want to
3:06
glue then I want to cut the excess off
3:08
it's slightly bigger than what I need so
3:11
it will look perfect as my background
3:14
also for a background you can cut
3:15
different pieces from the magazine
3:19
colors or textures that you like and
3:21
then uh arrange them around the page as
3:24
a border or
3:25
something always make sure that your
3:27
Corners are perfectly attached
3:30
you don't want them to lift up later on
3:34
or
3:35
something okay so I have my background
3:38
ready next I want to add my trail
3:41
remember this was on a
3:43
page there is a little bit of writing
3:45
there but I'm going to cover it
3:48
later so doesn't really matter but since
3:53
I want to use that lady on the bike I
3:57
think that sort some sort of a trail is
4:00
going to really fit the background here
4:02
so basically when you create a
4:05
collage you want to tell a story you
4:08
want to create a scene of some kind so
4:13
you want the page to say something so
4:16
don't just add a woman with a head and
4:19
hands and that's it she might be saying
4:23
something she might be doing something
4:25
she might be going somewhere she maybe
4:27
has an interesting background behind her
4:30
because she's in an interesting place
4:32
the story doesn't have to be too
4:33
complicated but it has to say
4:35
something so now I have my
4:38
trail next I want to add
4:41
my woman on a
4:44
bicycle again I always try to find
4:47
bodies that are interesting either their
4:50
angle is interesting they're sitting
4:52
they're dancing they're jumping they're
4:53
writing they're doing
4:56
something and I also like to change the
4:58
head I always always use larger
5:02
heads so the body is smaller than the
5:05
head usually in my collages this is how
5:08
I like it some people like really huge
5:10
heads I just like them slightly bigger
5:13
but not huge but that depends on the
5:16
style and what you want now when you add
5:18
the
5:19
head you should align it with the body
5:22
so if there's a neck or a scarf or
5:25
something then you should align
5:28
it with that
5:30
the body that it is already there and it
5:33
needs to make sense so even
5:36
though it doesn't make sense because the
5:39
head is much larger than the body it
5:41
does need to make sense in terms of
5:44
composition so when you
5:47
add the head it should look quite or
5:55
semi or mostly logical so this girl
5:59
doesn't have a neck and she has a head
6:03
uh some of the hair that's bothering me
6:06
so what I did I cut a little scarf
6:10
covered the
6:11
hair created a fake neck because the
6:14
scarf is obviously around some kind of a
6:16
neck and then added the head so that's a
6:20
cheating kind of a technique now I like
6:24
to add hats hats can be almost any
6:27
objects they can be really interesting
6:29
like I told you the there was that table
6:31
there it could really look
6:34
pretty as a hat but she will have a
6:39
teapot
6:41
hat I think that is really nice of
6:44
course there is a lot of fussy cutting
6:47
involved you can use another hat that
6:49
was another idea uh there is a lot of
6:51
fussy cutting involved when you create
6:55
a magazine collage because you have to
6:58
cut out the shapes that you want to add
7:01
to your
7:06
collage now I want to add this I don't
7:09
even know what it is it looks like
7:11
something like a
7:14
decorative something for the house I
7:16
don't really know what it is but it
7:18
looks like a plant to me so I want her
7:21
to have plants where she's going on her
7:25
bicycle ride but it's slightly too big
7:27
so what I'm going to do is cut it in
7:29
half
7:30
remove a little bit of the shape and
7:34
then reassemble it with the other piece
7:37
of the
7:38
same plant sort of
7:42
thingy so this one will go on this side
7:45
I don't want to also I don't want to
7:47
cover
7:48
her leg and the bicycle wheel too much
7:52
so I need to make this smaller so I'm
7:54
removing some of
7:57
those leaves
7:59
and this will go on top of that and now
8:02
you see it is much
8:04
smaller it's
8:06
narrower so again this is kind of a
8:09
cheating technique how to adjust the
8:12
size of whatever element you want to add
8:14
to your
8:15
collage how to make it
8:21
smaller I need the two pieces to fit
8:26
more or
8:28
less so I'm trimming the excess I'm
8:31
sorry it's out of camera
8:33
here
8:38
um okay so now it looks really
8:47
good we can go ahead and glue
8:51
that and I always like to use the glue
8:53
on a piece of paper to make sure I
8:56
really apply it all the way to all the
8:59
the nooks and crannies and all
9:01
the edges especially the edges so this
9:05
is the new
9:10
plant sometimes there's glue on the page
9:13
and then the things glue down I think it
9:15
looks pretty
9:18
good and remember there was a giraffe
9:21
there I want to add her
9:23
to she is in the right direction looking
9:27
at that lady there
9:30
so that would look really
9:36
cool just want to make sure that you see
9:42
everything let's turn the paper where
9:44
it's
9:49
dry and
9:51
then add the
9:54
giraffe when you cut shapes from a
9:57
magazine to add to your
10:00
you sometimes need to look at objects
10:02
differently than what they are so a
10:05
table can be a hat
10:08
and actually she's looking right at her
10:10
boobs but that's fine so and earrings
10:13
can be leaves and uh you
10:17
know uh a ladder can be legs and you
10:21
have to use your imagination sometimes
10:24
to create collages that make sense but
10:28
don't make sense if you you know what I
10:30
mean so the general feeling of this
10:33
collage is that it makes sense there is
10:35
a girl
10:36
riding a bicycle but then her head is
10:39
too big she has a teapot for a hat and
10:42
there is a really weird plant in her
10:45
way and so you see what I mean by the
10:49
collage making sense but it doesn't make
10:51
sense that's how I like to create my
10:53
collages of course you can make more
10:55
realistic ones but the entire purpose I
10:58
think of making a collage is making art
11:02
and doing something
11:05
differently so I'm adding the
11:07
leaves she's riding through nature
11:10
remember there's a story there I really
11:13
like those earrings I think they really
11:15
look like big leaves of some sort of a
11:17
plant so I think I'll add them as
11:23
well or maybe
11:26
not finally the last step of any uh
11:30
paper collage is to Doodle and add
11:32
details now she doesn't have hair which
11:35
is fine by me but I could have left her
11:39
like
11:41
that but I really wanted her to have
11:44
some hair so I want to Doodle some
11:46
hair if you don't like to Doodle or Draw
11:50
you can always find a hair and cut it
11:52
out and that can be a bouquet of flowers
11:55
it can
11:56
be I don't know other plants it can be
11:59
real hair and then you can just glue it
12:02
to her face around her face under her
12:05
face depending on the hair that you find
12:08
so I'm going to draw some
12:11
bangs under the teapot hat and some hair
12:16
around her face and when you doodle I
12:20
added some white
12:22
lines some white lines around the
12:27
giraffe I also want to add some
12:32
white uh on the giraffe
12:35
itself you can add any details that you
12:38
want with the doodling it's up to you of
12:40
course I'm also going to add a title to
12:43
my page because I always like my pages
12:45
to say
12:46
something and then my magazine collage
12:51
page will be
12:52

13:17
finished page I really like how it's
