best of personal series

The best photos from my personal series of collages.

personal series 4

 For this series, I wanted to make my collages really simple. I wanted just one main subject, and then a background that worked well with it. I tried to make a pathway for the viewer's eyes to follow, but it didn't work out for all of them. I wanted to make them interesting without saying or putting much in. For my next set I'll probably go back to putting a lot more into them if I have enough time.

One of my goals for this series was to really focus on repetition. I also wanted to make my collages even simpler, but still be interesting and have some sort of flow to them. I tried making them so thatthe viewer's eyes would follow in a certain direction.

For the second part of this series, I really wanted to focus on more simplistic, less crowded collages. I also wanted to make them black and white to make the elements of each one stand out. I mainly just used the magazines that were here at school. I wanted to try something different.

personal series

For this series, we got to choose what we wanted to work on, and I chose collages. I chose photos in magazines that were similar in color and emotion. For the first one, I went all out and I'm not really sure which emotion or theme I conveyed. The second one's kind of lame because I made it simplistic and boring, but that's what I was trying to do. I tried to make the third one really strong and realistic. Overall, I looked for background images to start with and built up off of that. I cut out what attracted my eye.
