How to Create a Collage Online
A collage, or a collection of designs or photos, is one way to get an idea across or to showcase something special. You might make a collage of photos from your baby's first year, or a collage of photos of your college experience. In the past, collages were constructed the hard way--by taking pictures, cutting them up and gluing them to a sheet of paper or poster board. Today, you can upload your photos or scanned mementos to a photo sharing program or a photo sharing website and create a collage with the click of a button.
