Pop Art Collage

Making collages impactful

Today we are going to create modern collages with a vintage feel. We are going to use Blending Modes and shadows to give the illusion of 

Psalms 121: 1-8 

I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From whence does my help come?

My help comes from the Lord,
    who made heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot be moved,
    he who keeps you will not slumber.

Behold, he who keeps Israel
    will neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord is your keeper;
    the Lord is your shade
    on your right hand.

The sun shall not smite you by day,
    nor the moon by night.

The Lord will keep you from all evil;
    he will keep your life.

The Lord will keep
    your going out and your coming in
    from this time forth and for evermore.

step 3: add a handwritten style font from DaFont

step 4: Add extra flourishes that give the feel of stickers. The British Library page on unsplash has botanical-vintage inspired graphics.
