Gestalt Collages
The goal of the project was to create a series of three collages that together, demonstrated the six main gestalt principals of composition. Each composition had to center around two principals and was to be made up of found images reproduced on a photocopier, with variety being added through adjusting contrast, scaling, mirroring, and otherwise manipulating the images using the copier. The project was done as part of my Two Dimensional Design class with Thomas Sturgill.

There were also two collages that ended up getting damaged, forcing me to recreate them. I feel that the redo gave an opportunity for improvement, but the original composition for Collage 1 is still my personal favorite.
