I revised this collage the following ways: the dollar sign; I agree it was a little distracting to the eye. I made it smaller and also lightened the hue up. I moved the taxi to the right side. I think this works because it shows the plane going one way, and the taxi pointed the other way. Possibly this will make it easier to understand the story with regards to the fact that he took the taxi home after the plane crashed. I also pushed the guy to the left a bit. The last change I made was to raise the clock up a bit. I think it works much better.
I like the way you
I like the way you rearranged this one. The man look like he's not only hailing the cab, but time as well. The way this is laid out now also puts more of the focus on the clock in the center, which is what the story is about. Not having time. Also, I like the change to the dollar sign in the clock. It makes it look like it's a part of the clock, instead of just being on top of it.
This is one of my favorite
This is one of my favorite collages. I thought the story it portrayed was unique and interesting and the collage depicts it well. I also like your use of color, the clock is obviously the focal point with the bright yellow and the rest of the collage is more neutral with only spots of color such as the taxi and the lights. Everything is very well integrated creating a very unified picture.
I really liked your original
I really liked your original collage and this one is even better. The move of the taxi was a good choice. It helped disrupt the directional positioning of your previous collage which gave a false representation of the story. I think it was a wonderful idea to switch the direction of your taxi to make it opposite of the plane. However I believe it would really make the man and the clock pop if the background was more transparent. I love your changes and your collage is great.
