MY FAVORITE COLLAGES

Since our collages were due this week i thought i would write a small blog about my favorite collages from the class.

This first one is from Ryan Ozar.

This is a Music group called HIM (i have never heard of them). The overall final product is very powerful visually, it turned out very professional. The designs in the background are logo's for the group and the words are lyrics from some of Ryans favorite songs. Everything about the image is rather amazing. There seems to be many different types of blending options used(they provide the "glow" effect of such things as the HIM words, the fading in the background and the designs. Overall I think this picture could definately be used for an album cover, thats how powerful the image seems.

This next picture is from Robyn Jenkins.


First off, I dont even know how the light "glare" was created but it really adds something to the photo. I think thats the reason i like this image so much is because of the way the light looks. Also, i like the way she wrote "she's an insomniac". It has way more meaning by making some words smaller and others words larger. I'm not sure what exactly it is about this image that i like so much, i think its just the overall final image and the way it turned out.

The next image was done by Jeremy Chilton.


It may be difficult to see the detail in this picture but when printed the quality is unbelieveable. It is made up of many different peices of artwork from some kind of comic characters. According to Jeremy there is a overall theme going on within the artwork but i cant see it mainly because i dont know any of the people in this image. Overall, this work is just amazing and shows an incredible amount of photoshop skill.

It may be difficult to see how great some of these images are by only seeing them on the internet. When they are printed and framed they look mroe professional and have better quality/detail.
