We did an collage extension from the 100 collages we had to do in the first term.

The first one is mine one:

On the poster I placed 299 passport pictures covered by 299 windows (passport size) obtained cutting up magazines, newspapers and everything else available, like, flyers and leaflets. Each passport picture has its double somewhere around the board only one doesn't have it, the game is to try and find it!

Below, there are some of the collages I like mostly, maybe because there are quite original and thoughtful...

Monoprint workshop

An intriguing hybrid among printmaking techniques, monoprints are neither a print nor a painting, but a unique combination of both. It is one image (mono) painted with oil-based or water-based inks onto any surface that will transfer the image onto paper.

To make a monoprint we need a plexiglass and some ink.
One you have a plate just paint directly on it with any kind of brush, depending on the effect you want, you can use a variety of tools for painting the image.
when we finished to cover the plate with the ink, we just put on the top a plain paper and used some images of London, tracing them on the top of the paper.

This is my first print doesn't look bad but I think I pressed to much with my hand.

This is a failed monoprint.. you can't even see what it is

Below there are other sample of my monoprint workshop, definitely I'll try t do some more on my free time, it's a really easy technique to do. Using different colours and brush you could archieve rally great effects.

Top 10 ideas on Ads of the World

These are the ten most popular in terms of traffic ideas on Ads of the World from the last six month according to Analytics.

The very first is student work which advertises the board game Clue. The objective of the game is to find the killer. Hence the special soap dispensers are filled with blood like red soap making you a suspect as soon as you use them.

Second place goes for an ambient idea that advertises a book "What women want". The installation features a human size mouse trap with a 6-pack replacing cheese. A sure way to catch men.

Third place goes to a controversial ad made for a computer security firm. The advertisement shows a computer chip that looks like a modern city including a structure that looks like the twin towers. The copy reads: "Some day your computer might become a target."

On the fourth place this bus advertises the Copenhagen Zoo squeezed by a giant constrictor snake. There were no alterations to the shape of the bus. The squeezed shape is an optical illusion created by the clever graphics.


Fifth most popular idea is an ad for a bedding company, which shows a shocking image of a little girl sleeping soundly with a monster under her arms. The copy reads: "Finetra. The bed and bedding experts. Where even nightmares come to rest."

The sixth place is taken by a direct marketing idea for Colgate. Free ice-creams were given to kids. Once the ice-cream was eaten a special message was revealed on the wooden stick reminding kids not to forget to brush their teeth after eating sweets.

The seventh place is taken by a public service print ad from Australia targeting teenage drivers. Visually it reminds you of the boarder magazine photographs showing the different phases of a trick. In this case however the visual reminds us that by killing one member of a family you affect everybody else too. As if the danger of killing a child wasn't enough to slow down in school zones.

The 8th place is taken by a sexy ad for Perrier carbonated water. The heat is dramatized by melted objects all around.

The 9th place is taken by a wanking dog (probably looking at the previous ad) advertising a day time dog care facility. Copy reads: "What's your dog up to when it's home alone?"

Finally on the 10th place we have a hilarious TV spot continuing the theme of what men are willing to do for a free beer.
