Rapid Collage


MY OBSERVATIONS

- theme of femininity
- bold and eye catching text
- use of mainly warm colors; reds, yellows, oranges, pinks
- a lot of white used in images/words
- entire use of paper; overlapping, no negative space between images
- all the overlapping images have hard edges
- images not all positioned one way; some horizontal, some vertical, some tilted

It was interesting to compare my observations to my comments. Everyone agreed that women, femininity, and female beauty products was the overall theme. Someone had also mentioned the use of bold words with provocative meaning, which is exactly why they caught my eye when I was flipping through magazines. The most interesting observation from my comments that I didn't notice was that all the women in the collage aren't looking straight at the camera and are glancing elsewhere. In one image, where the woman would have been looking straight at you, I covered her eyes with an overlapping picture. None of it was intentional, but it's cool that it ended up being a pattern.

  1. A pattern that I can easily see is women and all things that have to do with women. There are five women on this collage and many different kinds of products. Hair products, nail products, eye makeup, etc. are some of the things that are included on the collage and go hand in hand with the the lifestyle of women. Other patterns I see are words with provocative meanings that catch attention. These words are all in either bold or capital letters. Warm colors like pink red, yellow, and orange are another pattern that must have caught your eye.

  2. I also see the pattern with the women but more specifically none of the women are looking straight at you, they are all fixing their gazes elsewhere and one of the pictures has the top half of her face completely cut off.

  3. I also noticed a theme of womanly traits. There are various pictures of the different types of make-ups that woman use to present themselves. This poster is almost what woman need to get ready; shower, makeup, and jewelry.
