Week 6: Final Collages

For my final collages, it was easier to understand what and how I needed to change my chicken nuggets to point out the constants and variables. I made this final collage by keeping my third collage from week 5 and making the other two similar to it. There weren’t many steps in creating the final two collages. The steps necessary were keeping the same background that’s in the first collage (actually the third from week 5) and using it for collages two and three.  Next, I clicked on the layer that had the one different chicken nugget, went to Select, then Select All, and copied it. For my second collage, I pasted the chicken nugget and placed it in the middle. Going to Edit, then Transform, and holding down Shift, I was able to make the nugget bigger, medium size compared to the nugget in the first collage. Keeping the lightness at +23 and the saturation at 0 from the original copied nugget, I changed the hue. I picked a hue that was a light orange, close to yellow and red. For the third collage, I used the same steps. The only differences were that I placed the copied nugget in the middle and to the right of the collage, I made this nugget larger than both collages, and finally, I chose a pink hue, which was closer to orange and red. I arranged things this way because I wanted to make the nuggets go left, middle, and right. I also wanted to make them go from small, to medium, and large. I wanted to use hues that were similar to each other as well. It went from yellow, to light orange, to a light red or pink. I am controlling the viewer’s eye by making them look from left to right. They notice that it goes from small, medium, and large. This is a collage of chicken nuggets that have one significantly different one in each. This means that I am controlling the viewer’s eye on that specific nugget. I am trying to say that it is simple to make such a small change in one collage to easily catch the viewers’ attention.
