Collage; Henri Matisse

This art is a type of collage known as Decoupage and defined as craft.  It is the made by placing a picture onto an object for decoration. Decoupage usually involve adding multiple copies of the same image, cut and layered to add apparent depth. The picture is often coated with varnish or some other sealant for protection One of the more famous artists known for his work with decoupage is Henri Matisse. He is  well know for his piece which is entitled Blue Nude II , 1952.
 Late in his career, Matisse began to work increasingly with cut paper. He used sheets of paper washed over with gouache colors and then cut out his shapes and stuck them together, as shown below in a collage entitled “The Snail” from 1953.

Henri was a French artist, known for his use of colour and his fluid and original draughtsmanship. He was a draughtsman, printer and sculptor. He was born in Fance, the oldest son of a prosperous grain merchant.

Humanist Type: Centaur

I love this typography, simple yet elegant!

My 1st CD Cover !!

I love Whitney's music, and have always thought of writing a biography on her entire life. She started singing at a very young age, and I wonder if she ever knew how famous she'd become. (I didn't include her death, because I didn't want to make it sad).

Digital designing gave me the opportunity to express my imagination on paper. I used a combination of real & virtual images to come up with my design. Below are the original images used: 

A. Whitney Houston (to be used for back cover).

B. Whitney when young.                                      

C. Bubbles of dream?thoughts.                                   

D. Whitney performing on stage.                           

E. Stage                 

In the process itself, I set a stage (E) and added Whitney"s young picture (B). I then refined it alittle so it could blend in with the surrounding, but still have the idea of black-and-white

I then added the bubbles (C), but deleted the space in and around, so it blended with the outside, and pasted D (her performance on stage) on the inside so it appears as a dream/thought from B. I also added other pictures of her into the preceding little bubble spaces, bit not so visible, signifying her growth to popularity.Latly, I added the title (The Biography & Greatest Hits of Whitney Houston) and the theme song - Dreams do come true! ( Not real, but made up for the purpose of adding effect to the design).

For the back cover, I added one of her pictures (A) unto a pinkish background and cut off the edges so it will fit in. Then I designed the edges to give it more sparkle,. The saturation was then reduced to make it a little faint so the wordings could be clear/readable. Lastly, I added the wordings.

For the sides, the sentence was written vertically, cut to size & added to the ends of the finished back case. Below is the finished work:

Front cover:                

Back Cover:               

Sides:                         

All the above were measured to fit CD before printing and then cut out after printing..........
