One of the quotes I selected revolved around simplicity and minimalism. These photo manipulations define these two words - not necessarily in terms of design itself but the colours, shapes and images used.
Minimalist colour scheme (monochrome with the addition of yellow) works well. The lines either side of the piece draw your eyes to the main focal point in the centre therefore the placement is effective. However, it does not evoke a specific message, in my opinion, and is probably a self-initiated experimentation.

I like the use of geometric shapes and shatter effects to create a 'burst' of imagery. Similar to the previous design, a minimalist colour scheme has been used as to not detract from the complexity of the shapes. The subtle addition of pink really enhances the design as it breaks up the already existing monochrome colour scheme.
The juxtaposition of fluid and soft imagery against sharp and geometric shapes is extremely effective. Again, I believe the limited colour scheme enhances the design.

I can imagine this piece being used as a CD cover or poster. The spontaneous splatters and brush strokes strewn across the page breaks up the sharp lines of the triangles and is a great example of manipulating imagery - photographic, hand-rendered and digital.

The bright colours immediately engage with the viewer as they are vibrant and have impact against the black number 7. This is considered a lucky number which is possible the reason for the bright colour scheme - uplifiting, optimistic etc.

Out of all these examples, this is probably my favourite. It uses an effective balance of tone and contrast and although the colours are neutral and understated, the piece in itself is high impact and therefore immediately grabs your attention.
