The techniques include gradients, overlaying and there are a lot of faded textures overlapping each other. They have put lots of images together and blended them all together. Also all the pictures are a similar shade of colour.

This one is very different to the first one. There aren't any images fading over each other. The picture has some different images put together to make it look like one scene. It looks like the work of Photoshop. At the end of the arch way you can see a field it looks like a photograph of a real field. They have blended it a bit with the background which looks like it was painted digitally. The archway walls and path could be made by cutting a texture images and placing it together. The dog looks like it could have been digitally painted too.

This is collage has used different techniques again. It looks like lots of cut outs. They haven't used any fading to blend the pictures together. They have done it so you can see it has been made by sticking magazine/ drawings together. This would most likely have been done on paper and just using glue to stick it together to make a collage.

This collage looks like either the whole thing has been painted or there are some cuts outs stuck on to it is hard to tell. Some of the instruments look like they were cut outs. It does have this affect that could have been added on the computer if it was scanned. It makes it look old and fuzzy. An other technique is that they haven't used much colour and the background is made of very plain colours. But the heart really stands out because its bright red and this makes it stand out.

This collage is very strange. If you look at it close it almost looks like skull. But it's just lots of images edited together. There is a grainy effect over the whole image. All the images have similar colours and some may have had a gradient used to fade them into the other images.

I really like this one. I has been made by putting lots of drawings together. There is a lot of gradient tool being used in this to blend all the pictures into a collage. They could have spent ages drawing these amazing pictures and then spent time scanning them in and then collaging it. Also all of the drawings are black and white which I think gives it more effect.
