FAQ:: What makes a good photo collage?

These are just a few pointers of what we think makes a good life poster collage:

Choice of photo:: A wide range is best. If you are making a life poster of mainly one person (for example, of a  baby), try and find different poses; select wide shots as well as close ups, they don’t have to all be full face shots to work well, infact we’ve found that the more variety you have the better the life poster. If you are doing a life poster of mainly people, selecting a few photos of scenery or interesting objects that mean something to you, works really well. Some examples we’ve used are a jam scone, pint of beer, and a wedding ring. It adds a real personal touch and can remind you of all sorts of different occasions.

Colour:: Black and white photos interspersed with colour looks great, and a few photos with bold splashes of colour looks even better as it provides focus points on the poster. This is a piece of art afterall!
