Upon receiving Mr. Fauzi's insightful feedback, it became evident that he held a particular fascination for my first collage concept, primarily because of its profound and meaningful expression of the key secrets behind beauty. This collage features a dynamic interplay of elements,incorporating images of Barbie doll portraits, a blend of black-and-white and vibrant colors, a key, a make-up pallet even the inclusion of butterflies.
In the initial iteration, I had positioned the Big Ben London Tower alongside these components, intending to convey an aesthetic connection. However, Mr. Hafiz, in his wisdom, suggested should infuse beauty-related elements into the collage, thereby establishing a more cohesive relationship with the overarching incorporate a palette of makeup eyeshadow colors, seamlessly intertwining the concept of beauty and its secrets within the composition.

DESCRIPTION:
Among all of the collages, Mr Fauzi preferred this one as the composition gains depth through the interplay of angles and white space among these elements. In this art piece, I aim to capture the view of a city's sunset scene, featuring two towering skyscrapers with a perspective of a light rail transit system emerging, and pedestrians strolling along the sidewalks.

Reflection
Throughout the journey of Exercise Part 1A, I have learned how to initiate
creative collage work by utilizing resourceful visuals and collage materials
sourced from a diverse array of recycled items, which included magazines,
Uni Qlo catalogs, old newspapers, and novels. As for the Part 1B exercise, I
have well-mastered the variations of pen tools, lasso tools, and layer masks
to come out with a few digital collages, then made refinement and color
adjustments to ultimately composite a more improvised final collage.
Besides, this exercise actually enhanced my knowledge in skills and techniques of
Adobe Photoshop to input an external object in a particular image
and colorize the black-and-white portrait based on the reference images and
achieve the desired result. For instance, I have mastered the skill-sets
of reducing pixelation by using the noise removal feature and making it more
constructive by adding the reflection in the water.
