so, i haven't put any textures on these yet, but i wanted to try out a collage look... and i thoroughly enjoy them.

reasons why i enjoy these in a collage:

number one.
i love the fact that the smaller pictures are all put together to make one large image. and since i am not a "professional" photographer, the lower quality images don't scream "unprofessional" so loud since they aren't standing alone... and all together it looks much more professional.

number two:
i have always been a fan of piet mondrian. he was a dutch painter, and he primarily used grids in all of his work, and i feel like i am just sticking pictures inside the squares of his paintings...
he also used bold primary colors, to create a very modern look, and i think that is why i liked the last one, and just made a spot of red...

and lastly:
as i was making these collages, my personal desire to make family christmas postcards increased tremendously.
can you imagine how cute these would be on a postcard stuck to your friends' refrigerators showing off you and your family?
plus, postcard postage is considerably less than mailing a christmas card in an envelope!

the cost to mail a postcard: $0.27
the cost to mail a letter: $0.42
easy choice in my opinion.

let me know if you're interested, i would love to do one before christmas to test it out, and then i will sell them. First come, first serve!

let's all throw out some prices of what you would pay for a christmas postcard... let's say a minimum of 50 postcards, personally photographed, designed, and printed for you to mail. what would you pay?

okay, so it has been a ridiculously long time since my last post, and i sincerely apologize, BUT, it is a good thing that I have stayed busy, cause that means there will be a lot of "catch-up posts"

Since it is very very ridiculously late at night, I will only give a small hint of what is to come from my designer life... so here it is.

my first untraditional senior photo project client:
Grace Hankins, junior at Model High School, and gorgeous.




stay tuned as these pictures transform from simple pictures from my little Sony Cybershot point and shoot camera and they take shape as untraditional senior photo projects, designed by yours truly. Feel free to leave me some ideas that you have to aid the transformation!

ALSO, Just a little shout out to my college roommate: Kelly Smith, to say thanks for posting about me this week! And congratulations on the new house!
