Logos & Collages
In biblical Judaism, logo means the word of God, which itself has creative power and is God’s medium of communication with the human race. But it’s also a name, mark, or symbol that represents an idea, organization, or product.
A collage (from the French: “coller”, to glue) is a work of formal art, primarily in the visual arts, made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole. A collage made from photographs, or part of photographs, is called a photomontage.
I like to create designs that combine photography, painting, illustration, and graphics in a seamless photographic whole. In my graphic design, I have used a variety of approaches from classic collage and photomontage to multilayer computer-generated art. When the viewer’s mind is opened by the conflict of very different visions held in a single image, the mind works deeper into itself and further along the path of discovery.
