To make a magazine collage, you first cut out pieces of magazines. You then simply apply them to a surface with gel gloss medium. It is always a good idea to use pictures and textures over solid color, especially for larger areas. The matching colors is not nearly as important as the matching lines and the overall image. In this way, pieces that don't match exactly up close produce a blending from a distance.

This project helped me to see that things do not always have to match perfectly. It also helped me to find an image that means something to me. A magazine collage is a unique way to create a big overall image with small details that draw you in to inspect it closer. I disliked this project because, again, it was messy. One of the brands of gel gloss medium was much harder to get off of your hands than the other, and you would find it everywhere for the rest of the day.
