How To Create Surreal Collage Style Artwork in Adobe Photoshop

⭐️ Envato Elements is the only creative subscription you need! - https://spoon.graphics/envato Today we're going to have loads of fun creating an abstract—and quite surreal—collage style piece of artwork in Adobe Photoshop. This kind of art style has been popular for years, although originally it would have been made using traditional photomontage techniques with photographs, magazine images and newspaper clippings, all cut apart and reassembled using scissors, glue and photocopiers. These days we can use digital techniques to make things without even getting our hands dirty! Plus there's a wealth of source material readily available in the form of stock imagery that we can pick and choose from. If you browse Google or Pinterest for some examples of surreal collages, you'll see there's literally no limits to what you can produce. I personally love the ones with comical outcomes that are made with completely random combinations. For this Photoshop tutorial, we'll use a selection of free stock images along with basic Photoshop compositing techniques to create a fun abstract piece of artwork. Traditional artists sometimes used paint or pastels to add colour to their work, so we'll do the same with pixels. Then to mimic the analogue reproduction methods originally used, we'll distress the result with some effects that mimic bad photocopy prints with high noise and harsh contrast.
