EXERCISE

This week's task is creating 3 collages by using techniques learned in class.

1.

I liked the picture crop of a man leaving the elevator. I tried to make it fun by repeating and covering the entire background. But also, this collage looks stylish with the modern building on the front. I feel the orange and blue contrast in this collage fits very well. 

2.

I put effort into creating the golden ratio here. Growing plants from the bottom right, the sky blue gold fish dominates the large space in the upper left, and the blue goldfish is located slightly to the right of the center. I selected the two gold fish pictures, but I sense that makes it a bit unimaginative.

3.

I started this collage by playing with the non-object images, which images used in the background. For the objects in front of them, I put effort into creating the Rules of Thirds. I feel it is organized, even though there are many colors and cutouts.
