Design a Poster to Express Your Message with Kris Andrew Small

Kris will be taking us through the process of collaging a self-portrait by combining abstract pattern, photography and hand-drawn typography; signatures of his practice. The brief? To explore and represent your identity in the New World through this collage. 

In total, there are seven steps in the process:

  • Step 01: Explore your identity in the New World.
  • Step 02: Find inspiration for your portrait.
  • Step 03: Explore texture, brushes and colours.
  • Step 04: Select and edit your photograph.
  • Step 05: Sketch your typography.
  • Step 06: Design your abstract pattern.
  • Step 07: Compose your collage.
