Week 2 
we have our first time face to face class with Mr.Fythullah and it ended short due to some issues with the room air conditioning. We were given some example pictures of physical collage hoping that we could implement it in our physical collage. he ask us to start doing our collage and took picture of the 3 composition but not glued yet for the next week class. 
Week 3 
on the third week, we need to show our collage composition to Mr. Fythullah so he can choose one. the composition that he chose need to be arranged according to the picture and he will help re-arranging it so that it looks better. he also thought me about the rule of third and vocal point composition that I forgot when I was arranging the physical collage

Research 

For the physical collage, I don't have a better magazine because I don't have time to go out. and I got a free magazine from Campus Bazaar by GoMonsta's body mind soul magazine.

I was feeling a little bit pessimist about how it's going to turn out but I ask for Mr. Fytullah recommendation and he was very patient even when I asked a lot of questions. he help me with which element I could use and here's the 3 composition that I got.

PROJECT 1A: COLLAGE DESIGN ELEMENTS

1. Choose and identify your collage's design elements to be cut out and compose it into your own concept & story.

2. Pre compositing your collage's design elements into a composition.

3. PRE-COMPOSITION #3

fig.2.4. pre composition 3

Among all of the pre composition that I made, mr. Fythullah chose the second one for me to re-arrange but he told me to not glue it together yet. while waiting for his feedback, I made more element like the blue origami and a text about nature. when I showed him what I got,  he help me re-arrange the position while relying on the rule of third and focal points composition which I kind of forgot when I was arranging it.

Reflections

Experience

I think doing collage is a new experience to me because even though its similar with journalling, its a big challenge for me especially when I have limited resources 

Observations

I saw a lot of other's student work uses a fashion magazine which is a huge advantage because it give a better visual and you can get a Lot of element from it

Findings

I found it cool that even a nature related magazine can be made into a collage. especially the colors are random and sometimes unrelated with eachother.
