More collage.

Alright so this time around we had to make our own collages on random subjects. The first one I made was called self portrait. Using my fashion magazines I chose pictures of things I like, for example fashion houses that I love, Joey sugested I cut up the designer logos to make it more dynamic, which I found was a good advice, the self portrait collage has more movement because of it.

The next one is a piece called 34>12, which is supposed to represent inequality. My piece demonstrates the women represented in the magazines which happen to be "ideal" at least when it comes to the media. So I took pictures that may not be the ideal media woman, and cut into them and added some words to show what kinda of improvments, or surgery they would need to look more like the woman who is centered on the page.

I have to admit the next one I had much more trouble with, it's simply called monkey. So I said to myself, what do I think of instantaneously when I hear that word...and then it came to me....monkeys are hairballs...I don't particularily like the animal, I'm more of a feline lover, so I basically took tuffs of hair and glued them on a page. Then I thought, and the word goofy came into mind. So this is the result of my thought process to the word monkey:

The last one was called "I want to fly". So I cut up the sky in many pictures and glued them all together to attempt at a layering effect. The eye is there because to want to fly, you have to look up at it first. I also used some sparkling white paper that had a different texture, it reminded me of the fluffy clouds.
