2. I browsed online to find a programme I could
either download or a site that would allow me
to essentially make a collage. Ideally one that
was free to use, and easy to navigate.
I simply entered ‘make a
collage online’ into Google.
‘Photovisi’ an online
collage maker was the first
to appear.
3. The site looked easy enough to
use and so I went ahead and
clicked ‘start creating’.
There were only 3 steps to create my collage ‘selecting a template’ from the options
provided ‘adding my own photos’ that were saved to my computer and then
‘saving/ downloading my completed collage’.
4. The site provides a wide range of
templates that you can use to
display your images, I browsed
some of the available options. I
eventually found one I liked in
the ‘Basic’ options.
I chose this template
from the Basic Category
as I wanted my images
spread out and varied in
size much like this
template displays.
5. I was the presented
with this blank canvas in
which I could insert
images, text or change
backgrounds etc using
the task bar at the side.
As I just wanted a white plain background for my collage
( mainly because I wanted my sepia effect images to
stand out in stark contrast to a plain bright white
background. I went ahead and clicked ‘Add items’ so I
could insert my images.
6. I had already selected and
saved my chosen images
onto my computer and so
chose this option to place
them on my canvas.
I then searched for images
which were saved onto my
computer in a folder and
selected each image so that all
would be inserted at the same
time instead of having to place
each image individually.
7. Once my chosen images
had been placed onto my
canvas I was ready to start
arranging them how I
wanted.
I started moving my images
about, resizing them,
cropping and placing them
where I wanted on the
canvas.
8. Once I had
arranged and
placed each
image, I had play
around with some
of the effects I
could use, using
the side bar and
chose this sepia
effect. I feel that
this effect really
makes the image
stand out, adds a
edgy tone to the
I changed the ‘background’ colour to ‘black’ images and really
thinking that this would just add a black creates a dramatic
background against the colour images effect.
however, the background meant my images
turned ‘sepia’.
9. Once I was happy with my mood board, I was ready to press ‘finish’.
My collage then began
downloading and I
selected a resolution of
‘1024x768’ for my image
to be saved as. This
download process took
no time at all.
10. My completed collage
took no time at all to
download and once
the process had
reached ‘100%’ I
clicked to ‘Continue’
button to move on to
the next stage.
This message then
appeared and so I
pressed ‘click here to
download your
collage’, my collage
downloaded and I
saved the file in ‘my
pictures’ as JPEG file
so that I could use it
anywhere on my
blog work or in
