Well, I found out last Wednesday that my printer was out of ink in a rather dramatic way - I tried to print my collage for class and no black ink appeared! After a few moments of panic, I realized that the collage, or some parts of it at least, actually looked kind of cool. Specifically, the picture of the woman in the lower left corner had white eyes. It looks really creepy. And in the right bottom corner, the shadows of people watching the flag burn look more like ghostly images than just normal shadows. I have examples! But because Preview is stupid, they won't face the right way no matter how many times I rotate and re-save the images. So...tilt your head?
Although to be fair, I think it's easier to see the shadows from this angle. If the rest of the collage hadn't been even more messed up, I would have been tempted to turn it in like this. These are definitely weird effects that I bet I could reproduce in
Photoshop, but I doubt I would have thought to do something like this. So I guess it is a good thing that my ink ran out when it did.
The pictures so look really cool and it catches your eye when you see them. It does put a different view of how serious these pictures are. I'm not sure what your NPO is, but if it's something dramatic or powerful like the protests here, then you might want to think about maybe incorporating some of this "accidental design" into your collage..
