Making collage...

...can be a challenge. One needs to decide how to arrange the individual images to achieve somewhat harmonious whole. And then the collage should also support the idea. What should be the aspect ratio of the entire collage? What should be the aspect ratio of individual shots?

Here I chose 16:9 aspect ratio because it has become pretty common thanks to television. Then I saw a movie 'Get Carter', and there in the title screen I saw a cool vertical stripe layout used.

This collage is also a contribution to The Sunday Challenge, where the task was to use a collage to illustrate one's favorite TSC challenge. I chose 'Song titles' because I often use them when giving a title for my images.

However, instead of naming any song titles here, I ask you to guess what album and song titles this collage brings to your mind. Two or three of the images should be pretty obvious, and once you get them, then you probably find out what band and album I had in mind and was listening when doing this collage.



EDIT: Karen guessed the album and three songs out of five: Time, Money and Eclipse. Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon" has been the most influential album in my life. And based on the Wikipedia article, it has been the same for many others. It is kind of funny how people seem to put Pink Floyd's music under many various genres. But it kind of does goes under many musical styles, and that probably has been intentional from the band: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dark_Side_of_the_Moon

EDIT: Also the rest of the images guessed below on comments. Skull is for "Us and Them" and self portrait is for "Brain Damage".

Sorry to "disappoint" you =P I did this before I found out the idea represented by Mick. Besides that software gave even too arbitrary results for this challenge.

Sami, it's great and I would guess Pink Floyd's Dark side of the Moon album. I can see the songs "Time", "Eclipse" and "Money" in your collage. Is that it?

How do you choose aspect ratio? I used Pic Monkey for mine and didn't see a choice for that.

That is correct Karen =) Glad to hear it was that obvious. But what are the two remaining images for?

Great collage, Sami! I can't think of another album other than what Karen guessed, so that is my guess as well :)

I do like the vertical stripe layout, haven't a clue about the song, though.

Well, I would say the skull might be either "Breathe" or "Us and Them" and the other would be "Brain Damage" (no offense) ;)
