Design Location: workbook 27 design & illustration
Design Firm/Designer: Marlena Agency/Gerard DuBois
The designer has taken a classic illustration of ballroom dancers and made it unique by cropping different pieces of dance related newspaper clippings. Although he probably created the newspaper heading or text himself, it looks very realistic.
I really like the way he collaged the paper items together to look like they were torn out and to create the clothing on the people. You may notice that the words movements and news create waistlines on the people. Whether this is intentional or not, he has used the words to create subtle lines in the "clothing" on the people.
The bottom of the dress is also very interesting how he used newspaper edges to make the dress appear more fancy. Definitely, a lot of emphasis on the details of this piece.

This is really interesting. I like the way the newsprint is used in the design.
It looks like it would have taken a lot of work to create this. I like the creativity of it.
Well said. This was really well crafted.
