Model answer:
- Composition: Sketch a thumbnail layout to decide where printed elements and collage pieces will interact, ensuring balance between positive and negative space.
- Material selection: Choose printable surfaces (e.g., linoleum blocks, screen‑printed sheets) and collage materials (e.g., magazine cut‑outs, textured paper) that complement each other in colour and texture.
- Experimental technique 1 – Transfer printing: Create a monochrome print, then use a gel medium to transfer the image onto a different paper, adding depth.
- Experimental technique 2 – Layered embossing: Apply a light embossing paste to collage pieces before adhering them, producing a subtle raised effect that interacts with the printed surface.
- Final integration: Seal the completed work with a thin varnish to unify the varied media while preserving the tactile qualities.
