Review: Interesting and Inspiring Book - I first saw this book at the gift shop in the Tate Modern museum of art in London, but I didn’t want to buy it then because I was traveling and didn’t want to carry an extra book all over Britain. When I returned home to the U.S., I was happy to see it was available on desertcart. The collages featured in this book are delightful and ingenious. I am no artist, but anyone who IS an artist or who has been tempted to try to make a collage will love this book. It is filled with inspiring ideas and each collage is either lovely, haunting, mesmerizing or all of those things. The author did a wonderful job putting this book together. ## Images ![The Collage Ideas Book - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81KWjgKfBNL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So Inspiring and Full of Creative Sparks *by R***O on May 29, 2025* This book is a goldmine of inspiration.

Before I go on to describe the book (and gripe about the size), I have to say that I really love the way the book is set up and the inclusion of so many artists, with such a wide range of styles. First, I have to get this out of the way- the size of this book is just not cutting it. Seriously, it's 5 1/2" x 6 1/2" (14cm x 16.5cm). I find it incomprehensible that any book designer would think, "How can we improve this? Ooh, I know, let's make it smaller!". It's so small that I find myself squinting to make out the details. Most of the images are even smaller than you'd think, with multiple images on some pages surrounded by plenty of white border space- this on a 5.5 inch page. I'm guessing it was designed by the young and eagle-eyed. I honestly don't remember seeing the size when I pre-ordered it, but I assumed it was standard sized. Ok, on to what I like about the book. I like the way the author has set up the book, more like prompts for inspiration than instructions for techniques. On one page, there's an example (or several) of an artist's work. On the facing page, there's a short paragraph regarding the author and the work featured, with some brief commentary by the artist or the author on techniques used or ideas for materials, etc. These pages are titled with ideas like "Create with found materials", "Mix vintage and contemporary", etc. There are subtitles that don't have any explanation/context, i.e., "creating texture #2", "inspiration #7". The book has at least 82 featured artists with 1-4 images of their work, be they ever so tiny. It's printed on matte paper and is 175 pages long. I find that the matte paper makes the images less crisp/well defined, a drawback when you consider how small the images really are. On the whole, I really like the contents of the book. This is definitely meant for inspiration and not for any serious discussion of techniques. That's why the size of the book bothers me so much- you just can't see the work all that well, especially not on the matte paper. I'd still recommend this book, it's full of ideas and is fun to pick up and leaf thru while you're waiting for inspiration to strike. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Collage Ideas Book - Project Collage: 50 Projects to Spark Your Creativity - Collage Your Life: Techniques, Prompts, and Inspiration for Creative Self-Expression and Visual Storytelling --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/62799881-the-collage-ideas-book](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/62799881-the-collage-ideas-book) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-07-10*
