Collage


This was a rapid exercise in order to see what kind of images grab my attention and how I would organize them.  We had 10 minutes to rip images out of magazines and 10 minutes to arrange them on the poster.  From my collage, I can see a pattern of warm colors in the images (yellow, red, orange).  I also see a linear pattern in the organization of the images.  There are three main lines that are visible as you look at the collage.  The left line is diagonal as the middle and right lines are more vertical.  I think that the collage ended up being well balanced for such a rapid project.  There is an equal amount of images on the right side, left side, top and bottom.  As I dig deeper into the meaning of the collage, I see that it is somewhat of a mind map.  The central image being the person's face with the sunglasses, that says "NEVER HIDE" and all the surrounding images are things that can describe the persons character.  

A major similarity between my interpretation of the collage and those of my classmates, is the linear organization.  A difference is the representation being seen as a mind map with a central image.

  1. I also like the pictures chosen in this collage. I feel they resemble time and how life is too short to worry about the little things in life. I feel the watch and the never hide pictures resemble my outlook on this collage. The other pictures in my eyes are peaceful which is what life should be.

  2. I really like this collage. I notice how she centered all the pictures and their is a a wide border around the edges. All of the pictures are squares and tilted at slight angles. The colors are very calming and the pictures remind me of different cultures and ways of life. I get a sort of hippish vibe from the entire collage.

  3. I really like how some of her images are tilted on a slight angle because they contradict the images on the reflecting side. Also, the image of the plane and the person with the sunglasses go good together because it seems that persons mind is in the clouds.

  4. Good job! I feel like there's a pattern of traveling going on in this collage. There's the watch that demonstrates time, which is important for traveling. There's also a plane, and the word loud goes with that. I also see an interesting road to travel on,and a building that you can travel to.

  5. The first thing I noticed was the picture in the middle that has bright colors and also the two pictures beside it. Then I noticed that the colors around were not as bright as the other 3 pictures. It reminds me of traveling all around the world and just having a great time. I really like the words like " loud " and " never hide" . It has a great pattern. I really like this collage.
