I really like what you've done with this, showing the business of a body by looking inside the body. Also, I like how detailed it is, with the left brain and the right brain and the cartoon figure engaging in busy activities we're all too familiar with. The collage is very fluid, so that you can't really tell which elements are photoshopped - really awesome stuff! And I think the message is one that we can all identify with.
I also think you did a great job incorporating details about the brain, as well as depicting the hectic-ness of being a busy body through the figures with oversized heads surrounded by frantic white lines. Additionally, I like your choice of colors for the background and for the left and right sides of the brain, which match the responsibilities of each lobe. The "Fragile Handle With Care" sticker nicely links both sides of the image together, and says something about becoming fragile when we overthink, or take on too many responsibilities.
Laura, your piece is extremely relatable to my everyday life. I think you did a great job capturing this idea of "busy bodies." The colors on each side of the brain were great choices. The more mechanical side is a darker blue and darker tones, which I would associate with a machine. The creative side of the brain is colorful, associated with creativity. I think you really hit the nail on the head in depicting each side of the brain according to how our brain functions. The "Fragile Handle with Care" piece really does a great job tying both sides together. I would have to echo Katie's assessment of this portion, showing that we become fragile when overthinking or taking on too much. This is very relevant, especially in our lives. We are trying to pack as much information as we can into our heads, and continue to push ourselves to show our creativity. I love the little personas, acting out different functions that our brains play. It does a great job in portraying the feeling of a million things running through our minds at once. The sound and hearing personas were particularly clever! This piece is really well thought out and very detailed. I would be curious to know why you chose a salmon background and blue hands. Additionally, it is very well constructed and very fluid. In my opinion, I think the hands could have been portrayed a little better within the image, as they do not seem to flow as well. Most of the piece seems very strategic and sharp, but the hands seem to be soft. Overall, I love the concept! You can definitely see the detail and care that you put into this piece!

Being college students i'm sure this piece speaks to every single one of us. Really like how you made little people to represent the busy bodies, it kind of reminds me of the episode of Spongebob about fine dining and breathing lol. Also the fact that you separate the brain between left and right with all the little people on each side doing activities that fit left or right characteristics is really smart and creative.
I love that you expanded beyond just using others' pictures in your collage; your hand-drawn busy bodies within the head allow your style to flavor the piece. The business of the brain is a focal point against the flat-colored background, guiding viewers to closely examine the brain, which I believe is a great aspect. I'm a sucker for pastel colors and I love the effect you did with the hands! It is very pleasing to look at and I could see this working nicely as a computer wallpaper. One nit-picky thing is that the portion of the left side of the brain above the Fragile sign is still pink as if it were a part of the Fragile sticker. That might just be a simple mix up with Photoshop layers, though, so it doesn't take away form my enjoyment of your work :)
