David frequently incorporates found objects into his dynamic collages. In this lesson, he creates several collages in real time while discussing his source materials, design decisions, and how to trust your instincts.
While David's most well-known work is frequently his most daring, he also works with more traditional clients. He walks you through his process, from reading the brief to collaborating with clients to achieve the most compelling results possible.
