Collage is something I have become increasingly interested in as a process and aesthetic following recent visual language tasks, and so I was really interested in Luca Mainini's work when I found it on giphy. By the looks of it he uses collected ephemera from primarily fashion based sources and digitally arranges these to create moving gifs. I really like his use of pattern and simple shape within his images - as well as bold colour. They're just really funky and playful, and sort of have this surreal and chaotic tone to them. Collage is not something that I would have considered for this brief, but now I think that it could make for a really interesting process - especially for the digital one. Maybe I could use a combination of my own photos of characters, such as the hat characters, and found pictures, as well as drawing digitally on photoshop to create something similar...?
