100 Percent Recycled

Description

My first traditional collage and my first design project for college. I think it took me around four hours to complete. As you can tell, I used random crap I've had lying around for years and printed things out as I saw fit and according to the project guidelines. At the time I was super proud of this, but now I think I could have done better. But I think that's sleep deprivation talking, so just ignore that comment.

The collage is supposed to explain who I am as a person, so I tossed in favorite quotes and song lyrics, definitions ripped straight out of a dictionary, old tea bag wrappers (as my friends know I am an avid tea drinker), and pressed leaves. I must admit that the leaves are a little random but I can easily argue that it signifies growth and learning and that other symbolic nonsense.
The "100% recycled" thing is just a pun of sorts, in that everything has been said or done before and nothing is truly new or original. I also added it in because people are influenced by two sources: themselves and those around them, be it through another individual or a group.
The placement of ISFJ and sarcasm are important, because my personality type is that of an ISFJ (Introverted Sensing, Feeling, Judging [as in planning things out, not judging people]--the Nurturer of the Sixteen Types) yet I hide it behind sarcasm and snide remarks. So "sarcasm" is where my mouth should be and ISFJ is where my mind is.
I added in the Yin Yang symbol because I am intrigued by Eastern philosophy and love the concept of Yin Yang. (I also own several pieces of jewelry in which it is featured.)
And everything else is pretty much random (not really, just the lines. If you people really are curious about anything else just ask.)

For the TL;DR people: this collage defines who I am as a person.
For those who read that huge chunk of text: Have a cookie. :cookie:

This is pretty much the coolest thing ever. No joke. I love how it's not all crisp and perfect. Everything has it's own thing going and it all come together beautifully. I love it! And, oddly enough, this is pretty close to what I would use to define myself lol.
