Mosaic foundations
Start with the picture you want people to see. These guides explain image mosaics, collage layouts, tile selection, and the practical choices that make a composition work at both a glance and close range.
Look at the image twice.
First, look at the whole composition. Then inspect the pieces. A target-image mosaic needs both scales to work, while a collage can give each photograph a more independent role. Start with the format comparison, follow the image workflow when you have a target in mind, and finish with the print guide when physical size becomes important.
