Do you want to know what else I suck at? Collage. I have never mastered the random placement of seemingly unrelated images into a unified whole. Yet, I really love collage when it is done well. Do you suppose there is a technique? Or is it just pure talent?

Unfortunately for me, creating a collage is on the agenda for one of my subjects this semester so I’ve been off researching people who do collage well and this is what I found. From top:

    The top one is my favorite. I like the colors better as well as the textures.

    You may not feel it’s a strength for you, but I believe you will master it if you keep working. You have such a way with design. It’s just about learning to think a little differently. You’ll find it.
