Digital collages with iPad and iPhone


THE FIXED POINT

iPad collage

Then I first acquired my iPhone in November 2009, I made nothing but collages with it and my camera roll fast became a rag-tag repository for photographs of rather odd objects and textures that I'd later cut, paste and blend into miniature mash-ups. Eventually, I became frustrated with the practical limitations and resolution output of most of the apps I'd been using. Also, being a flighty, creative type, I wanted to experiment with other camera apps and techniques. So, as you do, I moved on, but the lure of virtual scissors and glue is strong and I've recently returned to collage, but this time on I'm also working with my iPad. It's still a fiddly process, but as the screen is larger, it's slightly less of a strain on the eyes.
The collage above is the latest one I've done but for the sake of those of you who have only recently discovered my blog, here are some I made earlier, with my iPhone...

FRAGMENT 01

I'm preparing a simple tutorial that features two recent iPhone collages. It's almost ready and will be posted here later on today or tomorrow.
See you later!
