  1. Matt I really like what you have got going on here. Like Joan’s you both have a lot of people in your pictures. I have a feeling that these represent that amount of bees in the picture. I am not too sure of the meaning of your picture but I like that you have added people like Ghandi and bob marley. I think it would be nice if u somehow added some color and maybe a little bit more of a clearer meaning of what you are trying to get at. I am excite to see you variations and what they are going to make me feel like.

  2. Matt, I liked your interpretation of the swarm of bees on the bicycle seat photo. I think we got just about the same idea from it, the power a large group of people can have when they act as one. The background you chose is fitting for that message. Like the bees, the people in your collage appear to be a cohesive group. I like the texture of this image also. Adding in charismatic leaders like Ghandi, Bob Marley, and Martin Luther King Jr. is also consistent with your theme. These men were able to inspire and gather people together for a common purpose. I don’t think you need to change the content of your collage, but maybe you could add some visual effects. I think making the background image black and white and then either changing the pictures of the leaders to color or distinguishing them in some other way would make your collage more effective. Also the placement of those popular figures seems too random. Perhaps you could put them all in the sky. Overall, though I really like what you’ve done here!

  3. Hey, I really like how you have a bunch of people crowded in the picture and then you have photos of famous people on the outside. What I get out of this, is that the crowd of people are there for the famous people.

    What I would do differently in this piece, is I would add more pictures. Either more famous people, or another background picture. I'm not sure if the collage is meant to have a happy, angry or sad mood, but I would change the backgroud color to show the mood of the picture. For example, if the people are mad or mourning over something, than put a red background in.

    I see where you are going in this collage. Add more to it to show us what you are thinking. Other than that, I really like your collage!

  4. Hey, I really like this picture. Its definitely different. I feel like all of those pictures are pictures of people that may have had some influence on people. Each of these people made some sort of difference in the world. The people that are sitting look like they are sitting at a concert of some sort.

    What I would do different would be to make one side of the picture black and white, and the other side color. I think that would be kind of cool, and different.

    Other than that, I think this collage is really cool, and definetly gives you something to look and think about.
