Met Gala Collage Illustration

 

Create a collage-based illustration inspired by the theme and spectacle of the Met Gala.

Research previous Met Gala outfits and focus on the theatricality, excess, and absurdity of celebrity fashion. Using either supplied assets or sourced imagery of your own, create an original composition that reinterprets the event in a visually striking way.

Your illustration may:

  • be grounded in reality or entirely fictional

  • combine unrelated imagery and surreal elements

  • include satire, political commentary, humour, or social critique

  • reference New York City, celebrity culture, fashion, or The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Focus on creating a cohesive composition rather than simply arranging images together. Consider:

  • scale and contrast

  • layering and texture

  • focal point

  • colour palette

  • visual storytelling

You may create your collage digitally or physically using printed and cut materials.

Aim to complete the task within one hour, focusing on experimentation, instinct, and strong visual impact rather than perfection.
