Surreal collage creation
Atomic Attack' Calvin Ho demonstrates the art of combining images to weird and wonderful effect.
As a creative team who mix and match our skills in graphic design, art direction/styling in fashion photography, and traditional and digital illustration, myself and Claudy Yuen, collectively Atomic Attack, are no strangers to bringing diverse and surprising elements together in a single piece of work.
In this tutorial I will take you though the creation of a dynamic collage by experimenting with objects and applying some basic skills in Photoshop.
Before starting this tutorial, copy the tutorial files and images located in the support files. To begin, open the file workfile.psd. The Artboard dimensions and gradient background have been created for you.
