Poster and ticket concepts developed for a fictional VMFA exhibit as part of a student assignment.

The promotional material for the fictional exhibit—Mash Up, 100 Years of Image Appropriation—was made primarily with collage. Collages were made with sourced imagery from various books, comics, and magazines which were then scanned and digitally altered.
