Experimenting with Collage

I do to some extent enjoy working with collage or photomontage, and like a fair bit of other artists' work which is created in this way (e.g. Hannah Hoch and Anthony Zinonos) however, I have found it quite difficult, especially the idea of creating a specific amount to go in a book. My main issue is that I become sort of paralysed by the amount of scope one has when working in this way; resizing images, repeating images, cutting up images, which images to fit together, not throwing away any scraps because they might become useful etc. On the whole, I need to think less and just wack stuff down to see what happens, which would be ok, apart from the fact that in this instance I had a specific amount I had to complete, resulting in my finding it difficult to narrow down my ideas. As a result, I was not particularly happy with the results, but did find that the simpler ideas worked the best. Below are my three favourite outcomes.
