The Saturday Speical 11.14.09 – jendavey

Ladies I am running a day behind so I apologize!!

Hi everyone I am here to bring you this weeks Saturday Special. One thing that I am seeing a lot of right now is photo collages. So I thought that would be a great topic for our saturday speical.

An important prerequisite for creating a photo collage is you must ensure that you’ve got enough photos to be placed in it. I want to see your pictures take up a majority of your page. Here are just a few steps to help you get started:

1. Laying out your grid: Take a look at the size of your layout and how your pictures will fit best. You pictures don’t all have to be the same size, they just have to fit together on the page.

2. Get Creative: There are thousands of combinations you can do with a photo collage…use your imagination!!

3. Set Your Canvas: Choose your size, layout, and photo placement

4. Create Your Background: This will set the stage for your photo collage. Decide how many papers, mats, etc. you want under your photos.

5. Crop your photos: make sure they are the size you want them in order to fit with your other pictures. Or crop them all the same size. Totally up to you!

6. Position your photos: Place your cropped photos where and how you want them on your page according to the grid you had mapped out in the begining

and ta-da you have a photo collage.

Here is my photo collage I created for this challenge. And don’t worry there are MANY templates in the store that can help speed you through these steps.

I used the new Slice of Life Design Team collab kit and EZ templates #7 by Erica Zane
