This effect creates a realistic ripped paper look on your photo, perfect for a distressed, surrealist vibe.

Create a Collage With Ripped Paper<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ripped paper collage technique is a very popular art form that\u2019s been around for ages. This technique uses ripped pieces of magazine pages, newspaper clippings, old books, and other paper material to create a collage. Luckily, creating a digital version can be just as easy with the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/picsart.app.link\/4pv7HdD7S9\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Picsart app<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Create an Abstract Pattern or Background With Ripped Paper Graphics<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similar to a collage, the technique here is to randomly compile ripped paper graphics of different colors together to form an abstract-looking canvas. You can leave the canvas as is or use it as a background to overlay additional designs. Pro tip: Start by selecting a color theme and build from there. For example, if you chose a muted pastel color theme, you can identify four to five colors and start building your abstract canvas from there. Feel free to use different shapes of ripped paper graphics for an extreme abstract look.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"pa-embeded-image\" href=\"https:\/\/picsart.com\/i\/image-picsart-340941526052201\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn131.picsart.com\/340941526052201.jpg\" alt=\"@picsart @puntadepie \" width=\"428px\" height=\"428px\" data-id=\"340941526052201\" data-size=\"medium\" data-head=\"1\" data-foot=\"1\" \/>via PicsArt<\/a> <script async=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/picsart.com\/embed.js?v1.3.3\"><\/script><br \/>\n<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>4.

If you have a quote or a piece of text you want to enhance, you can simply layer on ripped paper effects throughout your canvas and add text in between each ripped layer. Pro tip: To make your design most visible, use a white background, and add a shadow effect in between each ripped layer.
