The answer to the question what is a collage: A Collage is a blend of images blended together to form an idea. Many artists use magazine clippings to create collages. By the way, clippings from magazines are often used in art. Tubes taken from magazines such as female models etc. are clippings. Thus use them without fear of infringing copywrite.
