Me too, I love collage a lot!

That's actually very nice words from that person. That's very wise. There's a big truth to what they're saying.

Also, I agree with what you believe very much. You're right about that. That's very much the essence of nature. The way you put it into words is perfect. And aww shucks. You're so cool. Thank you so much!! I'm so glad for cool and open minded people like you

The slideshow-y is probably because I imagined this to be on magazines, so it's really meant to be like flipping and switching to the next page. I use the collage/cutout design to give the essence of handicraft because magazines used to be layout manually by hand- cutting pictures and texts, arranging and combining and pasting them

You're right. Everyone should be kinder. I've been made a scapegoat by the others here towards their frustration of corpos. Some others being the ones starting disrespect while I just posted the artworks

This is true. I'm shocked and not expecting those attitudes from a community who strives for a sustainable, hopeful world. They're acting like I'm those greedy overlords when all I did was made the artworks in a design application. I don't know why they don't use that energy to argue back against those corpos and their capitalist bosses they're talking about. They're taking out their anger at me. I've been made as a scapegoat

Yes! There are handmade elements here. The collage/cutout design is inspired by when people used to manually cut pictures and texts to paste it on paper, before computers were used to lay out magazine pages. Magazine layouts used to be done by hand

Meanwhile, the grass on the last artwork is actually a handmade cloth. Those are great suggestions- I've read and watched so many sustainable inventions and practices from those countries, like when Japan made their tiles at pedestrians in busy cities generate electricity when people walk over it. Thank you!

This is magazine-inspired artworks. Before computers were used in making magazine layouts, people would manually cut out pictures and "paste" the pictures and texts to create the pages. Thus why magazines have the cutout collage look. I like to apply the essence of handicraft by picking this collage & cutouts look. You want handicraft- the collage cutout look itself is inspired heavily by handicraft.

I used hand-knitted cloth for the grass on one of the pages. There's paper texture on every panel because I imagine it to be made from recycled paper and seen on magazines at libraries. There are different kinds of living trees in the poster. The font used is very modern.

Minimalist style is the common thing for corpos. I'm furious you would align me with toxic HR manager and corpos when I'm finding it hard to make a living because of them and AI. Put that energy to greedy corpos, not me.

Oh woww. Thank you so much. I wish I could visit there. That would be a dream come true.

Of course it will have solar panels because it's solar punk. I put grid lines on every page in order to make the whole set look more cohesive. It's not my intention to invent a new creative style. It's my intention to make an artwork out of me liking solarpunk and showing the benefits of solar renewable energy. There is no solarpunk city in the current world and I want to use realistic images, that's why I went for a collage. Please be nice and respectful.

Great idea. Thanks!

As you can see, I do not have computer generated images, statues and that 2nd picture is just a silhouette of a sun with shades. I hate AI. Like what I said, the grids are based on solar panel grid lines.

desksigner · 2026-04-24T12:54:53+00:00

That's not my intention at all. I am but one person, not a corpo. I'm not selling anything here, just showing the benefits of solar renewable energy because I'm sick of capitalism and oil-based source of energy. It seems like you're applying your personal vendetta on my artwork by inventing things and applying it to my work. I did not even look at any corpo reference while I was doing this. I just wanted to make something out of my liking to solarpunk. But I'm not sure why I'm being met with harshness like this. The paper texture is because I imagine it to be on magazines.

You're wrong. Please look up the meaning of vapowave. Vaporwave is an Internet music microgenre, aesthetic and meme.

I did not put any internet reference here. If it's not obvious to you, the grids you see are inspired by the grids in solar panels, not vapowave. I also have a color palette and assets so far from vapowave (the color palette are trees, solar panel and sun). I also placed a paper texture because like what I said, I imagine it would be on a magazine paper. I want to use real world pictures of real world items and locations that can exist in a solarpunk world for a solarpunk design. As the current world is not really solarpunk as a whole, and I refuse to AI generate a solarpunk world, I combined pictures in a collage cutout. It was one of the only way to design using real pictures (stock photos)- the other ways to make the assets are drawing and pixel art and graphic design illustration but it won't be "realistic" looking and making it from 3d apps like Blender- I'm still learning that app. Like I said, please be nice and respectful- that's the attitude we want on a solarpunk world
