In evaluating my collage, I wanted there to be a feeling of darkness over the theme of war. I selected images that portray different period of time in which major wars occurred, from the days of the civil war to the Iraq war. I didn't want to just capture scenic war photos but those that express emotion and ideologies that were present at such times. The faded picture illuminated by the atomic bomb was one of the features I particularly liked as well as the Ares, the God of War, reigning over them in protection. The placement of the famous uncle Sam WWI photo overlapping with the Vietnam protest poster I thought created some interesting irony. If I were to critically evaluate what I would have changed, I probably would have played more with color contrasts to give some photos a stronger stance in the collage. Overall, I felt like I sent an interesting message.
