Career Collage...
The Visuals of Me & My Dreams of the Future






Week 1 Homework
I want to know about your FUTURE. What kind of career do you think might be your future dream job? Is there a certain kind of company you would want to work for?
Creatively showcase your Future Career through collage:
◦ Be CREATIVE
◦ Use ANYTHING to help VISUALLY show the details of this career
◦ What makes this career unique - the good, the bad & the ugly
◦ What background might you need?
◦ Dreams of the possibilities of your future...
◦ What are the products or services of someone in this Career
◦ Majority of your collage should be imagery
◦ Use images from magazines, scraps of paper, 'unique found images' -
fabric, packaging, labels, patches
◦ If you chose to add an image of yourself - be CREATIVE! If it's a photograph, try cutting it up,
divide it, marry more then one image into one… Please don't bore us with a collage of
'selfies'
◦ On the BACK of your collage - you must include your Career Name/Title with a description
