Photograph Mosaic

Tue, 21 Oct 2008 04:40:36 +0000

An attractive technique for placing photographs into scrapbooks is the photograph mosaic. Mosaics stretch photographs into an artistic rendition of the original photograph. Maps can also be stretched in this way. This method might be employed to create a funky look for a friend scrapbook or as a background for someone who likes computers, GIS, or geography.

A basic cropping technique is used to create a photographic mosaic. Simply cut a photograph into evenly spaced squares. Then, glue the squares onto the background leaving an equal space between each square.

A white background or a background matching the background color of the photograph will add to the effect. A background of a contrasting color will reduce the spaced out effect of the photograph.

Collage scraps technique

In order to make your scrapbook to standout from the rest, you need to tap into your imagination. One thing that comes to mind is making a collage with paper scraps. Take a lot of one type of paper, say construction paper or paper with designs printed on it, and cut it into small pieces. It could be cut into geometric shapes or circles or strips. Whatever shape you use, make sure you have consistency in the size and shape of all the pieces. Get some glue and lightly spread the scraps with the glue on the back and spread it over the page. Make sure that all the scraps overlap each other across the page. It should almost look like the whole page has this geometric design actually "printed" on it.

Or, you could paste these geometric shapes around photos or around embellishments to form a pleasing patern. You could also paste larger pieces of like scraps to form larger background shapes to complement all the elements on the page.

In either case, "set your mind free" and try anything with paper shapes. The more you use different elements and arrange them in different ways, the more your scrapbook will be original!
