Have you ever seen an art project that consists of thousands of other images arranged in such a way that they look like a larger image from afar? This is a pretty common technique among scrapbook artists and presentors. This kind of art is called the photo collage.

Making a photo collage from scratch can be a very lengthy process, from the actual design of the larger image to be produced to the actual picking of the component photographs that shall be used in order to make the grand image. This will involve picking photographs based on their dominant shade and shape.

One thing that is very difficult to deal with in making photo collages is shading, because there are subtleties that have to be satisfied to make the larger image more realistic. Modern photo collages try to cheat this by artificially editing the images so that they will give off a different dominant shade. While this practice is generally accepted, I find it uneasy to Photoshop my way to completing the photo collage.

Not all software applications out there are that bad (in my opinion), though. Some are actually specialized to help you find the right photos and design the larger image that you want to show. Shape Collage, which is linked below, is one such application. It is an automatic photo collage system that lets you easily make plans for that photo collage in no time. You can customize the photo collages as you wish and add background images to give your art project a newer dimension to it. You save time--a lot of it!

But if you really want to do it all-traditional, then there's no stopping you from doing so. It is more admirable this way and you end up appreciating the fruits of your hard work even better because you've spent a lot of effort on building it.
