PRINT AND DIGITAL COLLAGES
BY ALI NAVARRO
I have to put my screenshots somewhere. From photos to random photos I’ve pinned/downloaded/digitally foraged for… I’m just trying to make sense of ‘em all (aren’t we all) Many are collages from trips i’ve been on- a little taste of the places through my eyes if you will. A grouping of memories.
I also have an intense love for print media (and its history). Old magazines, ads, editorials, layouts and the FONTS. This is my way of preserving and appreciating the evolution of good design:) I hope you enjoy!

some collages are arranged digitally from personal photos, sketches and some… screenshot dumps OR scanned from a physical piece collaged with a variety of sourced materials
*I have been called the .png queen a couple times…
(I appreciate any style of… well anything I guess? If you haven’t noticed already. Old stuff, new stuff, organic styles to futuristic, I can’t get enough)

Features: Personal sketch of an Egon Scheile piece, collage project from a 2d studio class in college, a ticket to the Calder exhibit at LACMA in 2014 (amazing), passages from a book I wanted to save, and I think the chalice motif is from a Hendricks Gin fan I cut up. Also, a letter that fell out of a book reading:
