If you just want to display an image, you don't need to do any subclassing, you can set the cell's backgroundColor with colorWithPatternImage:. Register the class like this:

[self.collectionView registerClass:[UICollectionViewCell class] forCellWithReuseIdentifier:@"Cell"];

Then use it like so:

- (UICollectionViewCell *)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    UICollectionViewCell *cell = [collectionView dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:@"Cell" forIndexPath:indexPath];
    cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[self.results objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
    return cell;
}

In this example, results is an array of UIImages.
