Re-appropriation

Re-appropriation is the use of an item that was originally created for one purpose, to make something completely different.

We looked at the blog of Austin Kleon who is the author and designer of Newspaper Blackout. I created the example below:

I was rather underwhelmed by his work and mine! However, some of his other books look interesting.  Steal Like an Artist quotes "What is originality? Undetected plagarism", and continues to state the case that norhing is original, and everything created is something which came before, but assembled in different ways.

Another design was created, following Kleon's methods less closely.
