Yesterday I posted an in-progress collage spread: tilde.zone/@mk30/1141734415013

Here is the finalized spread.

Pretty happy with how it came out. I tried to break up the sharp dividing lines with wavey patterns (in keeping with the undersea theme) and other elements like the dolphins and even the diagonal lines of the washi tape.

I also cut out the diving sphere on the upper left and put it on an undersea background, to minimize the visual disruption of what was previously a large block of white and gray.

One of my struggles with collage is avoiding the urge to overstuff the page. My impulse is to jam pack the page full of stuff to maximize how much the viewer sees. But obviously that's not always the best, either visually or for understanding (too much visual info can overwhelm the eye and prevent the viewer from being able to take anything in at all).

As an example, here are two versions of the same spread for my wip collage magazine project called "keep dreaming of structured settings".

The first one is the overstuffed initial page I had, and the second one is still quite packed, but with a bit of breathing room and a more unified pallette that I think is more harmonious and less visually overwhelming and chaotic. It might still be too overstuffed, but at least it's getting better. Going to keep working on it.
