Factors To Consider When Making A Photo Montage

By Thelma Kent


A unique way to interpret something visually is through a photo montage Dallas. Montages are usually made to get good impressions from people. They are used either to showcase ideas or photos. The creation of such projects are often rendered to be enjoyable by most people. They may even make good presents or decorations for events, such as birthday parties.

Montages used to be made from at least two negatives combined together to create prints. Today, these can be made through the use of digital means or darkroom techniques. People who wish to make montages would only need a good supply of photos and maybe some photo editing programs.

The first thing to do before starting the project is to determine what design you would like your montage to have. Make a list of the materials and procedures needed to complete the task. You may settle for a fixed pattern for your design or go for the jumbled photos approach. If you consider the latter type though, decide on the size of the material and the surface type you want.

There are several types of designs available to choose from. A surreal theme calls for combining realistic items that would make results a bit fantastical. This can be accomplished suing digitally altered backgrounds for unique colors.

Another idea is for the project to be fashion-themed. This involves picking out images of shoes, accessories and clothing and layering them to complement each other. Most people employ the use of photo-editing programs for this approach.

Contrastive montages allows for the emphasis of the differences in several elements. Photos used for this are usually semi-transparent and are layered with contrasting images. This theme is usually carried out to express ideas in a shocking or gripping way.

After you have decided on the theme, gather the images together starting with the biggest one. Plan out their placement just so they will not be overlapping each other so much. You may use any type of glue you like as long as these will hold down the images securely. Repeat this procedure until you finally complete your very own photo montage Dallas.
