:: I made a graphic, but I have no idea whether it's a    Collage or a Manipulation.

Check those definitions first:

:: A Collage is a graphic that is cut together from severl images and pieces. Those pieces don't need to belong together and create a shape. They can be pretty random.

We included Graphics into this category. Graphics are images which have been altered, but only contain one motif. Like an image with effects and text.

 

:: A Manipulation is a graphic where the image has been manipulated to show something different. It shows a new object or person.

For instance, you could put together two seperate images of Martha and Lionel. Or you could use the body of a model, and put Chloe's head on her instead of her own.

The goal is for the image to seem real and not put together.

 

:: A Fanfiction Cover is Cover for a fanfiction. A Fanfiction is a fan-written story, featuring the characters of a TV show.

A Fanfiction Cover can encorperate Manipulations, Collages or Graphics.


:: A Drawing is A drawing is a handmade graphic. Paintings will also go into this category. So do images created with a graphic tablet.

RULE: Somtimes, you have to use your own judgement. There can be Collages with elements of a manipulation or a manipulation having the elements of a manipulation...
