My collage embodies the theme of “Georgia on My Mind.” I wanted to convey a message of home and highlight some of the most iconic landmarks of the peach state. Seven of the eight images used to assemble the layers of the collage are personal photos of places and images that are important to me, giving the image as a whole a more familiar tone. I also added an image of Scarlet O’Hara in order to convey a feeling of traditional southern living, making the idea of Georgia comfort unmistakable. While I am happy with the results, I would change a few things if I had more time. I would possibly redo the tulips and the fountain to reduce the distortion of stretching them and possibly work a little more with color, particularly in the Atlanta skyline. However, overall I am very pleased with the results of my first endeavor with Photoshop.
