Prompt

For my collage series Prompt I cultivated a daily making practice where from January to April of 2024 I made at least two collages per day. Each collage is guided by the content of a prompt written by myself and then translated to a visual collage. I wrote around fifty prompts for a high volume of results. Each prompt is organized by the month In which It was made. This is to illustrate a chronological timeline structure. I’m presenting Prompt as a graphic design thesis because I used design elements like hierarchy and texture for the construction of the collages. This was to utilize my design skills In a experimental creative process. I’m using the word prompt as a noun for the title to emphasize how important the writing of the prompts was to the design of the collages. Also using the word as an adjective to highlight how time spent on a collage would affect the outcome of the composition.
