I have to admit, the "Next President" collage was very difficult for me. I had a hard time deciding a presidential topic and an even harder time getting my topic to come across in my collage. I ended up with the topic "Freedom of Speech". I tried to show my topic in many different ways in my collage. The first thing I did was create a whole background of newspaper print. To do this, I transferred magazine articles with gloss over the whole background of the paper. Next, I put tissue paper "jail bars" up to create the illusion of "words behind bars". I also put many words such as "Who?" and "Best Novel" in bolder ink to show the idea of Freedom of Speech. After this I put many layers of tissue paper and paint to express the idea of the creativity of the words all over my collage.
I'm still not exactly sure how I feel about my finished collage. I think I am happy with the outcome. Although I see many other collages I like a lot, I impressed myself with what I came up with in the end.
