Collages

The first collage I created was this one above, I chose a building from a few of the areas Megan is focusing on in Krakow and I then erased all of the surroundings from the pictures so the focus was solely on the architecture. When all the buildings are arranged together like this you can see the unusual coloured stone they all use, despite them all being a little bit different in colour they all relate well together. The shade of green used in this bottom right image can be seen subtly on a couple of other buildings in the collage. To emphasise this I decided to use a peachy/ red background colour, this not only relates to the red of the Polish flag but it also contrasts with the green.




This collage relates to the town hall found in the market square of Krakow. The images Megan had for this area were of the town hall, the market square and a stain glass window. Here is the final collage, the background of it is the stain glass window mentioned previously however here it has been altered in colour, originally it was shades of orange and red however I found that this didn't suit the collage.  I chose to change the hue of it to blue which picks out the colour of the clock on the town hall as well as being one of Krakow's national colours. I did try to emphasise this further by changing the colours of the buildings too however I found that this would mean that every collage in the book would have to have some sort of blue tone for this collage to fit in. Another technique I tried was dissolving the stain glass window image as I find it too dark, however I didn't like the effect it had.







This are only had two images for it, I believe they are of the same building. Despite the collage not having much content I do like how it has turned out, I find it very simplistic and think it contrasts nicely with the one done previously.



I like how crazy and full on this collage is, I think it relates nicely to the art work found in this area which is displayed in the background. As you can see there is a lot going on in both the foreground and the background which I really like,  it has a very friendly feel to it.
