I created these photo collages for my landscape graphics computer course using Photoshop. The assignment was to create collages in the spirit of David Hockney that illustrate two contrasting experiences/places in my commute to and from home and campus.
First is a collage based on my neighborhood in Oakland. I wanted to evoke the diverse colors and textures of the landscaping and architecture--and the steep hill that I climb on my way home.
Second is a collage of the street where I get on and off the bus. The street is dominated by auto-oriented businesses. It's devoid of pedestrians, deserted at night. This is a literal collage of an actual place, whereas the first collage represents an overall experience.

Beautiful! I love all the colors and the feel of the first one. You live in a beautiful area.
Meg - just re-visited the blog. Cool collages! Your photography skills are definitely serving you well in grad school! Off to send you a quick email now... By the way - the confirmatory word they want me to type in in order to post this is "fuxap" - how do you suppose you pronounce that...?!
These are sweet Meghan!
