magazine collage

Cut-and-paste artwork

A magazine collage is artwork made by cutting images and text from magazines and arranging them on a surface.

The technique is common in art classes, vision boards, and scrapbooking.

It also describes the aesthetic itself—layered, fragmentary compositions that evoke cut-and-paste assemblage: The album cover had a magazine collage vibe.
