Montage-It! Poster

Bringing Elements Together

As with the other two posters, the A3 Montage-It! poster was to advertise an exhibition in montaging, addressing one specific aspect of the process.

I felt that the poster itself should display an example of montaging, for those viewers who do not know what it is.


The centre image was created by overlaying each slide from the flipbook, and then overlaying that multiple times again at different angles. My aim was to show in an extreme case how montaging can take a simple image and create it into something completely different in another viewpoint.
The text surrounding it to a lesser extent shows overlaying as well, set in shades of blue so that  "Montaging" stood out. The multiple angles would (in my opinion) draw more attention than a linear expression of text and it carries the concept of changing perspectives and bringing elements together.



The montaging module as a whole helped to bring the previous two workshops together to bring out yet another use for these methods of communication. Models can be used for many reasons such as a physical representation, a way of exploring spaces and as the base for a montage. Likewise, drafting and rendering can be used for the drawings themselves or in the process of photomontaging. Putting all these skills together helps us as architects communicate to others numerous concepts depending on how we choose to depict them, and especially through what medium.
