For my first collage I used these pictures as you can see, and I used certain  "tools" to alter my images.  I used an eraser when I used the magnetic tool to get rid of the space not needed, like for my Tinkerbell I only cut her out and erased some background. I also used a paint brush to paint the top of my Starbucks IV to make it colored.  For my effect that I applied to my type layer is outer glow, which my text reads "Live your life!!"  Also, for my collage I used filters to catch the eyes of the viewers.  For instance, my first layer I used under Pixelate is called Pointillize,  which is tinkerbell. For layer 2 (the Hollister) is diffuse glow.  Layer 3 which is the Starbucks IV has dark strokes.

For my second collage, I used these pictures and I used just the same exact tools. I'll list them again.  I used the eraser to get rid of the extra stuff not needed.  I also used the paint brush to make the sloth transparent.
