I spent a good deal of time working on this collage, and I have to say I'm pretty pleased at the way it came out. It's satisfying to look at the color combination of the two larger yellow and blue pictures. Also, the No Beach Out Of Reach really stands out over the two. I believe I put a little bit of a drop shadow on that part, which helped it pop out just that little bit extra. The picture of the man putting up the sign really just helps to translate the picture into text. The words Exclusively Bodyboarding stand out to me, which is, obviously, the theme of the collage. I might have been able to do a little bit better of a job distributing the different pictures across the page, but I think over all it was a success.
I like the way the entire collage is structured around the wave just off center to the left.
ReplyDeleteThe blue of the central wave also works well with the yellow in the lower right.
