Collage Guidelines• Collage that represents/reflects contemporary pop culture (You will have to explain your imagery/theme later on)

• Must title work (may do this later on)

• No “white space” left on page

• Images should overlap (i.e., don’t just stick a few images around the page)

• Use High School-appropriate material for your collage!

Ideas for filling “white space”

• Patterns/colors cut from magazines

• Newpaper/magazine text

• Notebook paper

Other design ideas/thoughts
