Students from the Graphic Design program at the University of the District of Columbia explored a series of projects centered on image-making and photographic montage. The primary objective of these assignments was to combine multiple photographic images into a single, cohesive visual composition.
The architectural studies encouraged students to closely observe form, structure, and shape, while the blended image montages drew inspiration from their individual neighborhoods throughout the Washington, DC area. Through layering and compositing imagery, students used their design instincts to transform multiple photographs into unified visual statements that communicated fresh perspectives and new ideas.
Particular attention was given to viewpoint, perspective, spatial relationships, and the ways forms from separate images could interact to create cohesion and visual meaning. These projects encouraged experimentation while reinforcing the importance of composition, visual hierarchy, and conceptual thinking within the image-making process.
