Create a commercial product image with the digital collage technique
Create a commercial product image with the digital collage technique
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.

Randy Mora has been working as an independent illustrator since 2007. His focus is editorial and branding, and he has collaborated with several clients in Colombia and abroad. He uses the technique of digital collage to elaborate his compositions, in which he dissects and couples images from different sources to build new realities. Enjoy collecting figures of saints, antique toys and strange objects that crosses there. He lives in Bogotá with his faithful companion, a black cat called Tinta.
