So needless to say when I heard about Collage.com I was so excited to try them out! I have a million pictures of my kids and I am always wanting to do something with all of them. The greatest thing with a photo collage is you don’t have to pick just one picture. You can add all of them and create a fun decoration for your home! When my baby turned one we took her to get her 1 year pictures and I wanted some of her eating her cake. And with a photo collage I could see all the cute pictures of her as well as add all the messy cake pictures to show the whole birthday event! Just look how cute it turned out!
I loved all these pictures and it was so hard to pick my one or two favorite poses. But with a collage I didn’t have to. I simply uploaded my pictures, picked a layout and they arranged it for me! So simple and easy and it turned out absolutely adorable!
To start I just went to their website Collage.com and selected what project I wanted to create. I picked a 20×30 poster. When I started first creating the poster I wanted to do the birthday cake collage. For this it would have just taken my pictures and put them into the shape of a cake with candles. But when I uploaded my pictures I realized that some of the pictures where getting cut off when they were being fit into the shape of the cake. It wasn’t a big deal and you could move the photos around or resize them so you didn’t have faces cut off. I did play with the layout and they even have the option to move or shuffle the photos around so I played with that for awhile. But in the end I realized I really wanted to see all the pictures of her cute and messy face so I decided to randomly align them instead of putting them into a shape. And now that I’ve seen the finished product I am not disappointed at all. I just love the poster collage and I think it is adorable. I have it hung up in her room above her dresser and it is so much fun to see and look at all her cute pictures.
Here are my thoughts on creating my photo collage poster from Collage.com. I really liked how simple and easy it was to use. I didn’t have to download any programs and even the upload process of the pictures was very quick and easy. I really liked that they had options of colors for the backgrounds, text, and they have over 100 different shapes you could create using your photos. Plus once you have your finished project they offer free sharing on their website and other social media outlets. So you can post it on your facebook page for everyone to see! How cute! So with that being said I did run into a couple hiccups along the way. The first was the shape. I really liked the idea of a cake for her birthday pictures but I was having a hard time with the fact that some of the edges around the shape would cut off parts of the pictures. I think for the most part that wouldn’t be a problem but for the project I was working on I really wanted to see everything. So this was really just my preference. I really think if you were working on something different like all your travel photos you wouldn’t even notice if something was cut off a little bit. The second hiccup I found was I had typed a text on the top but it wasn’t displaying it. I was getting a little frustrated because I couldn’t figure out why it was happening. So I just closed my internet browser and re-opened it a few hours later. When I entered the text the second time it showed right up. So I’m not for sure if it was my computer/internet of if it was their website but it worked itself out and I love my collage. So after my experience with creating projects with Collage.com I am completely satisfied! I just love my poster and it turned out great!
