MIGRAIN Representation: Photoshop collages

Create two Photoshop collages offering the dominant and alternative representations for a certain group or place. 

Think about the usual stereotype for that group and collect words, images and colours that capture that dominant representation. For the alternative, you need words, images and colours that don't fit the usual stereotype.

For example, if you were to create a collage of the dominant representation of women, you would look for feminine colours, jobs that are associated with women and more. For the alternative representation, you'd do the opposite.

You will be using Photoshop for your MEST2 print work so it's important you get to grips with it if you're not confident already. Use YouTube tutorials, Mr Qureshi and other students in the class to help you learn the software.

When you have finished the collages, save them as JPEGs (low quality) and post them to your blog along with an explanation of the task.

If you finish one set of collages in class, consider creating another set on Photoshop while taking on a more complex challenge - perhaps a dominant and alternative representation of an event or place?


Representation: work so far

Before you get to grips with Photoshop, make sure you've completed the initial work on representation - analysing a film or TV clip for the representation of people, places or events. You'll need this for the next steps on representation theory if you haven't done this already.
