So in my Intro to Multiculturalism class, we had to do a collage that represents ourselves. Family, heritage, interests, etc. Here's mine:

Image

I've numbered each item in this version, so use that for reference below.

1. A cow. Representative of Sparky, my dog, who looks like a cow and therefore is nicknamed Cow.
2. A real picture of Sparky.
3. A moose. Representative of Maggie, my other dog, who is fat and therefore is nicknamed Moose.
4. A real picture of Maggie.
5. Craig Ferguson, my biggest hero. ^_^
6. Nineteen Eighty-Four, one of my favourite novels.
7. Random image representative of my love for writing. ;)
8. The Fratellis Costello Music, one of my favourite albums that inspired one of my favourite works of my own.
9. Pirate flag. Do I need to explain?
10. The Lit Journal, my proudest achievement.
11. Arizona State University mascot, Sparky. Yes, my dog is named for the mascot.
12. A really amusing graphic illustrating how much better we are than our rivals, University of Arizona (aka North Mexico University). Say no to drugs, kids.
13. Between the Bridge and the River, my absolute favourite novel, by none other than Craig Ferguson.
14. Random ad for a camera. Representative of the awesomeness of football (soccer).
15. Sex Pistols graphic. They're one of my favourite bands.
16. Irish flag, representative of my Irish heritage.
17. Arizona flag, representative of my birthplace. Yes, it's upside down, and yes, there's a reason.
18. Celtic Football Club. Woot woot!
19. American Express graphic. My mum works for them.
20. A North Mexico University jersey on fire. Appropriately. ^_^
21. Boeing graphic. My brother is an intern for them.
22. Random panda is random.
23. Scottish flag, representative of my Scottish heritage.
24. Hampton Inn logo. My dad is a manager of one.
25. Irrelevant Turtle, who will take over the world.
26. The Clash London Calling, a great album and another great band.
27. Sudoku squares (throughout) because I like sudoku.

It's a nice display. Everything is arranged in an interesting and fun way. Even better than that, each picture has a meaning. Aside from the panda, I don't understand the panda. Consider editing that. I love the sudoku squares throughout though. It's diverse and I like the Craig Ferguson novel.

Well done. =)

Yay, you posted your collage! I remember you telling us about this in the chat room. It's really a work of art, now that I see it - way way way more cohesive than any of my collages. I love the way it's so organized and neat.

Your dog is really cute, by the way! Wish I had a puppy.

Also, your taste in music is awesome. My dad introduced me to that kind of stuff when I was a kid. It's pretty funny - he used to drop me off at school, this 43 year old guy, singing along with "Rock the Casbah" at the top of his lungs. Good times.

You should try making some just-for-fun collages sometimes without the restrictions of the institution. I bet they would turn out even better.

Hey!

This is a nice collage--I am liking the crazy yet cool effect you have going on with the angles. Also,, more praise if you will, it is evenly spread out and I don't find myself getting lost over all mess. This is a little blurry, but nonetheless I think you have done a great job with not having too many clashing colours, otherwise it would be harder to understand.

I can't offer a lot of concrit, but very nice!
D'eh! C'est Crawfy!

That's so cute, That would be an excellent touch to your room.
I love how each part of the collage represents you, I guess one could say it aptly depicts who you are. Not entirely, of course. But pretty well.
Good job. You got me inspired.

Cool beans! However, even though it has two things with Craig Ferguson in them, it needs more Craig Ferguson. Not that you didn't know this already. :P

And you are slightly obsessed with your college in a very scary way... like... very. :P

Still, cool college collage. Haha, that's fun to say. ^^

great collage, it works together to illustrate a part of your personal life and a part of a mindset :)
