*edit 021606



I changed some of the positioning on the pictures, added a grayscale, and went a little crazy.

*/edit

okay, so I'm trying my hand at a collage, cuz i kinda suck. Anyway, this is the product of my labor for the last couple of hours. How does it look?

I know its kinda choppy in some places, and the pictures dont have the smoothest edges. Please be honest, but dont say something like "you suck". kthnx.

maybe change the position of some of the pictures (like rotate them, flip them) because they are all pointing the same way and it looks a bit plain compared to the brushes.

and maybe lower the saturation of the images, so they go with the color scheme a bit better.

it's beautiful though.

where did you get those brushes?

Hm...I think it looks a little too blend-like for a collage. The images, which are gorgeous btw, are so closely cropped that the one in the blue hat and the one in the dark green hat look out of place. I really like what you have so far, it just doesn't look collaged.

hmm, I suppose you're right about the collage thing. I was going for the collage-ey thing, but I guess it didnt end up that way =( oh well, better luck next time. I tried flipping the pictures around as you suggested, and don't know yet... it looked a little funky. I may try to do it again next time, and Im working on the saturation.

I'm going to have to agree with Carrie about it looking like a blend. You should try just putting things together, and seeing what you come up with. I like what you have for right now.

I wanted to do something different than I've ever done. So this means... a no go? cuz, I wanted to code it and put it up, but it looks like its going to the recycle bin. =(

I think you should code it even though it wasn't exactly what you were looking for. It's still an excellent graphic and deserves to be used. Or you could save it for a rainy day.

It looks alright.
The pictures you used are nice.
I don`t like the transparent text.
I think if it was a solid color in side the text..
it would look better.

you suck.



















But seriously, like it. I think it could look a little more like a collage if you want to call it that. but I like them both. The second one has more attitude tho, and its a little more collage-y. So yeah good job.

that looks wonderful! the edges are a bit choppy here and there, but it's sort of covered up in the second one. i like that one better than the first one, i lovee the style you used!
