I also believe this helps portray my message of growth. This helps the abnormality become present in the centre of the sample. Nevertheless, I worked around this dilemma by adding loads of flowers on the models head. The first collage was scanned in on my printer at home however the second was scanned in through my phone instead. I think this was because of the angle I scanned in the second cut out. I tried to create a new layer with the man selected and adjusted the image to make it look smooth however this didn't work very well. Luckily, I didn't throw away my cut outs so I found the head of the model to attach back to the body. At first, this collage only had the road in the centre of the pencils, and I was going to edit out the man walking along it as I didn't need it however not only was this difficult to do, but I thought the sample looks empty so it was harmless to leave him in. This time I wanted to add more personal imagery alongside the magazine cutouts to help portray my story. This was the process of another collage sample. This sample is humorous and uplifts me so I am interested in including this style in my work to create the same emotion for the readers. Overall I hope the sample has reflected the meaning behind the saying in visual form to highlight the silliness of life's problems sometimes.

Keeping the binding of the book I painted on helped bring in the personal elements of the samples aswell. I liked this outcome because not only does the collage reflect the common saying ‘ It’s raining cats and dogs outside’, but the outcome doesn't look flat against the page. I then layered this on top of the collage to make the two blend together. My previous samples have been looking flat against the backgrounds which is why I created another layer of the background and erased certain areas of the brushstrokes. I then began to adjust the image using the ‘saturation tool’ to make it appear brighter almost like the collage was spiralling into the page. I would normally use a brush to be precise but I didn't want this outcome. I made this using acrylic paint and my fingers. I removed its white background, which is formed after scanning, using ‘colour range’ then, I used one of my mixed media art pieces to create its background. Above was the process of working into the collage once I had scanned it in.
