Sea of Paper - Free-Style Collage [ENG/ESP]
Published on HivePostify by @soyernesto · Wed Sep 02 2026
Hello friends and #LMAC community! What a joy to return once again to share a new collage with you. I hope you are having a lovely week full of joy. > Hola amigos y comunidad de #LMAC, qué alegría regresar nuevamente para compartirles un nuevo collage. Espero que estén teniendo una linda semana llena de alegrías.
For this collage, I wanted to emulate the creation of a traditional collage, so I overlayed many elements with paper textures and raised them slightly using Photoshop’s drop shadow function to achieve that layering effect and sense of different planes. The first thing I did was take the reference photo and apply a blur to get the collage background. Using a torn-paper shape, I turned the image into a cutout that I added on the right side, and underneath, framing everything, I placed a paper texture that I shared with the community. I added images that resemble magazine cutouts, which I found on Pixabay, and the finishing touch comes from a flower from one of the community's images, which I added as if it were a white-background sticker. Finally, I added a color-chroma texture and a bit of noise. > Para este collage, quise emular la creación de un collage tradicional, por lo que superpuse muchos elementos con texturas de papel y los elevé un poco usando la función de sombra paralela de Photoshop, para dar ese efecto de superposición y de planos distintos. Lo primero que hice fue tomar la foto de referencia y aplicarle un desenfoque para obtener el fondo del collage. Con una forma de papel rasgado, convertí la imagen en un recorte que agregué a la derecha y, debajo, enmarcando todo, coloqué una textura de papel que compartí con la comunidad. Agregué imágenes que recuerdan a recortes de revista, que encontré en Pixabay, y el toque final lo da una flor de una de las imágenes de la comunidad, que agregué como si fuese un sticker de fondo blanco. Para finalizar, agregué una textura de cromas de colores y un poco de ruido.
Here is a small animation with the entire process of making the collage in GIF format, which I think will illustrate the process better. > Esta es una pequeña animación con todo el proceso de realización del collage en formato GIF, que creo que ilustrará mejor el proceso.
