Collage - Post Man

This image is Anders Wedin and it is called 'post man'. It is put together with other collages that are similar to make up the 'farfar
project'. The photos used are pictures of Swedish men in the early 1900's who week labours of varying sorts.

I liked this collage because I liked the different style and it mixed in well with my theme because I did the same sort of style but linked it with the theme I have been looking at 'war'. I like the use of the changing a persons personality and appprrence through collage. I also like the use of the mix beyween black and white and bright colours. 

For this collage I went onto the internet and I took a picture of a person wearing their army uniform as I wanted it to like with my own theme 'war'. I also printed out a small poppy as this is linked very well with war and I have been using them in my other studies, and a pigeon as in world war 1 they were used a lot to carry messages. final I chose a similar background to the original photo but in red as the colour also links in very well. In this piece I like the use of the lines In the background which lead you into the main part of the work. I think this piece has good composition as it all links well together.

If I were to do this collage again I would take step-by-step pictures and also I would've found something bright and colourful to go across the hat of the solider and also the uniform.
