Collage

Cutout shapes, mixed textures, and visible layers make an image feel assembled from different materials. Choose it when contrast between pieces is part of the story, rather than a seamless photographic scene.

Match the look to the task

Where Collage
can help.

  • Culture and editorial images with a strong visual metaphor.
  • Playful campaign compositions built around a focal cutout.
  • Covers or posters where layered shapes support the artwork.

When another look may fit better

  • Object scale and cut edges can become inconsistent. Review overlaps when recognizable details matter.
  • Layers are not delivered as separate editable pieces. Choose Paper Craft for a more consistent handmade material throughout the scene.

Your idea still matters

What to describe
with Collage.

A Style guides the treatment of the image. Your prompt supplies the subject, setting, action, and the details that make it yours. Start with a sentence you can picture, then add what matters.

“A red panda botanist carrying a terracotta pot through a greenhouse, morning light.”

The character, prop, place, and light come from the prompt. Collage gives those things a visual direction.

  1. Describe the main subject and which pieces surround it. Give the layers a relationship rather than listing unrelated objects.

  2. Name the materials, palette, and scale of the main cutout. Paper, photography, and painted shapes can work together.

  3. Say what should be in front and behind, and keep room for any final lettering.
