    @eden-anderson –

    First thing I would do is make the font of the quote a little larger. It’s too small, especially compared with Little Boy. Possibly cut out the top part of the bottom left quote and put it there to parallel the Little Boy on the bottom right. But make it larger if you can. Using two lines is okay.

    Second, I would switch the top right picture and the top left picture. I usually try to keep pictures that are of roughly the same thing on opposite sides of a collage so it doesn’t feel lopsided. You have two pictures of humans right on top of each other. If you switched it, it would feel more balanced.

    If you could, it’d be good to resize the three pictures up top so they are all exactly the same size and have the same margins of border around them. What Fledgling said about the sepia can be true, that it can look a little mashed-up, but I think you’ve balanced the color combo nicely.

    I get my quotes from pinterest and two websites with royalty free pictures, unsplash and istock. I just search things like ‘fantasy sad quotes’ or ‘happy travel quotes’ and I find something eventually.

    I’ll let you in on a little secret though. I don’t usually save pictures from the website directly to my computer. I have this thing called a snipping tool (I have no idea how to get it, it was just on my Dell laptop that uses windows) and I can ‘cut out’ a part of the screen and save it as a picture. So I just ‘cut out’ all the pics I want instead of saving them to my computer, cause that’s harder.
