Collages
The BIG QUESTION:
The most frequent question I receive about collages is how many images can / should I include. The answer is "it depends".
The overall size of the print is determined by the size you order. The more images you include, the smaller each will be. You need to think about how you will display the collage. For example; an 8"x10" collage can have up to 9 images. Allowing for borders and some spacing each image size works out to about 2" x 2.5". Displayed on a desk this size can be fine but hung on a wall it will be difficult for anyone to appreciate without getting close to the wall. The same 9 images on a 16"x20" collage would have an individual image size of about 4"x5"; much more easily seen across a medium size room.
My suggested guidelines:
8"x10" 2-9 images
11"x14" 2-11 images
8"x24" 4-6 images
16"x20" 2-9 images
16"x48" 4-7 images

How to order a collage:
1. Choose the overall size collage you desire and choose that size for the first image you would like included.
2. Add additional images using the "Add image for collage $0.01" option.
3. When you start the check-out process you are then asked a series of questions about the collage. This will tell me what you would like for verbiage on the collage (i.e. name, year, team, etc.) and which image (if any) you would like me to emphasize. Information provided will be included on the collage; if you do not answer any questions I will not include any verbiage on the collage.
4. Complete the check-out process.
How collage delivery works:
1. I will design the collage and e-mail you a LOW QUALITY proof for approval.
2. Please check that I have the correct images, word spelling and punctuation. Please e-mail me your approval or any corrections. I will send a revised proof for approval.
3. I will print and send the collage once an approval is received. PLEASE NOTE: I will not send the collage until I receive a positive approval from you.
Collage re-prints:
A collage includes a one time $35 collage set-up fee in addition to the normal print charge. All re-prints are at the normal print price. And yes, I do save copies of each collage and you can order re-prints after the initial order. Please e-mail or call to place the order.
