Mark Antony Collage
Mark Antony from William Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar."
This collage was inspired by Antony's famous speech in Act iii ("Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears!"). The speech seems an innocent tribute to the murdered Caesar, but in reality was a well-planned verbal manipulation of the entire crowd that drove the masses to war. The right side of the collage is purposely overloaded with dark images to convey the evil intentions of Antony from the third act on.

I like the way Antony
I like the way Antony provides a focal point for the image. I wonder about the uniformity of the left hand portions. The effect is fine, but given the color tone of Antony and the other elements, I'm thinking more might be done with contrasts--perhaps the flames could be an opportunity to work with a couple other elements of emphasis.
