After creating my charcoal piece I decided to take a more digital approach and collage an image of an alley-way in Manchester and layer it over my Charcoal image after a bit of creative editing. I prefer these images to the original, what do you think? Do you think this method works? Do you think this looks like enough like a Post-Apocalyptic city? Which of the designs do you Prefer and how do you think I could improve them?

The first, fourth and fifth piece, stand out for me, as they all have different qualities of why I really like them.
The first one has its vibrant colours which makes the piece bring an abstract style approach with a new contemporary twist with it's digital detail.
The fourth piece reminds me of photomontage imagery, hints of impasto images combined with amazing detail as if you actually used drawing inks that makes it really interesting and eye catching. When I viewed Gerhard Richter, who is an German visual artist who has simultaneously produced abstract and photorealistic painted works, as well as photographs and glass pieces.http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/overpainted-photographs/. View his work and see how you can bring similar ways like you have done for digital and creative mix media for you sketchbook?
The fourth piece, makes a realists setting of what Post-Apocalyptic city you are trying to achieve. As the image is black and white, it does suit what you are trying to achieve.
However, to compare the strongest to come first from the three. I pick the second one, for it creativity and relations to the artist of what it reminds of one of my favourite artists that I have used in the past in a similar approach to yours.
I really like the 4th image, it's probably the most realistic looking one out of them all, these look a lot like Robert Rauschenberg's work... You could recreate something like this in the photography studio involving your characters
The fourth picture is really effective and communicates your intentions the most. I also admire the use of colour used in the other images. It would be interesting to see the black and white with one object in colour like the red bin maybe - something mundane. I really like your work and look forward to seeing your final outcomes.
