# Photo-Ink Collages ‘Mixed Media Girls' by Nikki Farquharson By Cecilia Biemann | Published 2008-11-11 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photo-collages-mixed-media-girls-by-nikki-farquharson References: [thecoolhunter.net](http://www.thecoolhunter.net/art/Nikki-Farquharson---Mixed-Media-Girl/) & [nikkifarquharson](http://www.nikkifarquharson.com/) These awesome [photo and ink collages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition) are the work of London-based graphic designer and illustrator, Nikki Farquharson. These vibrant images are from her ongoing project entitled 'Mixed Media Girls'. I love the 3D nature of her work, the [striking colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-digital-artwork), the bold prints, and the way the photographic images blend so seamlessly into the artwork. Farquharson's impressive work was recently displayed at the YCN Alive exhibit in Helsinki. **Implications** - Collages continue to be interesting ways to combine [patterns, textures and colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olga-de-amaral) in a visually stimulating and appealing way. Companies should consider utilizing this artistic technique within window displays, product packaging, branding, and marketing campaigns in order to feature multiple mediums simultaneously. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Mixed-media Collages:** Businesses can explore the use of mixed-media collages in their window displays, product packaging, branding, and marketing campaigns. - **3D Artwork:** The use of 3D elements in artwork can be explored by businesses for their visual marketing and branding efforts. - **Seamless Blend of Photographic Imagery:** Exploring the combination of photographic imagery and graphic design can offer innovative solutions for product packaging, advertising collateral, and branding efforts. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Graphic Design:** Graphic design companies can explore incorporating mixed-media collages in their work for clients' branding and marketing campaigns. - **Marketing:** Marketing agencies can utilize mixed-media collages to create unique and visually engaging campaigns for their clients. - **Retail:** Retail companies can employ the use of mixed-media collages in their window displays and product packaging to enhance the visual appeal of their products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artist-Approved Intricate Wallpaper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/printed-decors.md) - [Juxtaposing Artful Collaborative Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sea-galaxy.md) - [Sculptural Mixed-Media Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-echoes.md) - [Ultra-Playful Studio Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-workspace.md) - [Intricate Fiber Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threadwork-women-redefining-fiber-arts.md) - [Paper Curvature Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves.md) - [Layered Color Textiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tekla-evelina-severin-and-layered.md) - [Paper-Made Mosaic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-life-architecture-exhibition.md) - [Vibrant Design Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neon-primitivism.md)
