Collage HW



Why I like it: It looks really mysterious and out of place. I think it looks surreal and almost like something out of a fairy tale. The door is isolated and it makes you think that anything or any one could walk out of it. It also makes you wounded about what's inside it and why it’s there. I like how one side of the image is bright and shiny and the other is dark and gloomy. I also like this collage because usually I’m not keen on collarging as I think a lot of the time it becomes messy looking but this image doesn't and it works together.

Meaning: It could mean an escape or an easy escape. One side of the image is dark and in the shadows and the other side is in the light. This could signify that the dark side is the hard side and light side is easy side as the door shows there is always a way out. Also the door is in water so it could mean that on this planet that there is more sea then land and humans are restricted to were they go. We only take up parts of the earth and most of it is governed by the sea and the sky takes up most of the image this shows it is even vaster then the sea.

The visual techniques: There is a gradient effect. On the background there is a layer with a scratchy texture shown over the whole image. It makes everything look cracked. Also the have used smudges and dark faded colour over parts of the image. They have used different images and made a collage of one image.
