There were several similarities and differences between what I noticed about my collage versus what others noticed. When we were instructed to choose as many pictures in ten minutes that stood out to us, I chose what I found to be most visually stimulating. My choices would no doubt have been different had I brought my own magazines, and my limited choices definitely affected the final product (but not necessarily negatively).
Others pointed out ideas such as my collage not necessarily being coherent with regard to subject matter. This is true; there is no common theme in the subjects of the pictures I chose. This is essentially because I chose images whose colors appealed to me, rather than what was being depicted. Another theme that came up was the fact that there are several abstract patterns rather concrete images; this goes with the fact I chose images based on visual appeal rather than subject matter.
I also noticed that most of my images are large in size and spaced closely together, often overlapping. This additionally was pointed out by viewers. Generally, my own list coincided with things that others noticed, especially regarding the strong presence of abstracted patterns, colors, and shapes.
I like the different types of pictures chosen. I find it hard to come up with a theme but if I had to I would describe it as your personal interests. I do not necessarily know if these pictures represent your interests but I feel they cover a broad spectrum of our everyday lives.
ReplyDeleteI really liked this collage, especially because I watched reid put it together. The patterns I see is that he made everything fit together. The colors are very subtle and their are very few images. There are alot of shapes and patterns vs. people food actually things.
ReplyDeleteI like the sizing of images that he chose to use because some overlap, creating spaces that enable your eye to look everywhere.
ReplyDeleteI like how some of the pictures overlap, I feel it makes the patterns come together well. I also like the different pictures used, very unusual makes me want to figure out the meaning behind it. Very well put together!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great collage. I feel like there's a pattern of dark colors going on in it. It also looks like there's a scientific pattern happening. There is a fire, penguins, and what looks like a heart or brain in the lower right hand corner. I like this collage because it's very unique!
