A collage is a work of formal art, primarily in the visual arts, made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole.
A collage may include newspaper clippings, ribbons, bits of colored or hand-made papers, portions of other artwork, photographs, a piece of moss or even a dead mole and other found objects, glued to a piece of paper or canvas. The origins of collage can be traced back hundreds of years, but this technique made a dramatic reappearance in the early 20th century as an art form of novelty.
We will be doing photo collage, or photo montage.
Collage made from photographs, or parts of photographs, is called photomontage. Photomontage is the process (and result) of making a composite photograph by cutting and joining a number of other photographs. The composite picture was sometimes photographed so that the final image is converted back into a seamless photographic print. The same method is accomplished today using image-editing software. The technique is referred to by professionals as compositing.
1 – Have A Rough Idea Of The Finished Montage Before You Start
It may work for the select few, but simply opening a Publisher document and throwing eight of your favourite pictures on there with no real idea of how you want the montage to look is unlikely to yield the best results. Think about montages you've seen and how you can achieve a similar look using the photos you want to use. This also gives you the opportunity to do any major work to photos that you want to use in its creation.
2 – Use The Right Size Document
Different canvas printing services do have different document size requirements so check with the printing service before you start. This kind of information can normally be found on their website, but you shouldn't hesitate to call if you're struggling to see it. It's always better for a document to be slightly too large than too small, because photos can lose quality when you increase their size but should retain the same level of quality when shrunk. Spurious results may certainly be achieved if you have to change the dimension ratio, though, so do check before you start.
3 – Combine New And Old Pictures To Create A Photo Journal
One of the greatest uses of a photo montage is in the creation of a photo journal. If you're chronicling an event or celebrating somebody's birthday then you can combine digital photos with scanned pictures. You can even include paper clippings, personally designed artwork, or flyers and invitations. Giving a montage a theme is a good idea, and this theme could be anything from a Valentines Day montage to a personal montage with pictures of yourself.
4 – Use Unique Montage Design Styles
One of the simplest and most common ways to combine pictures in a single photo montage is to overlap the edges of the photos a little. This prevents their being any gaps without removing any of the essential parts of the pictures you use. However, you could use a single picture as the background and then add photos in key areas of that background or use blended photo edges to create unique montage designs.
5 – If You're Struggling, Use Templates
Publisher and Photoshop are the two best applications for creating a photo montage of your own. Fortunately, templates and tutorials can be found all over the Internet for both applications but especially for Photoshop. Use a template or guide as a starting point and add your own personal touches at the end.
6 – If You're Still Struggling, Use A Professional Designer
If you're still struggling to get the look that you want from your photo montage then you can use a professional designer to do the work for you.
