Pictures can be used to make simple art. One way to do this is through a collage. Photographs may already be artworks themselves, but gluing them together to form a patchwork of a different image gives them a different spin. In fact, it may even change the stories they tell into a new one. Gluing pictures together by hand, however, can be tedious and time consuming. And such is often the reason why people do not make collages. But with modern softwares, it is a whole easier now. Today, digital collages are no longer hard to make.
If viewed as a traditional visual art, a collage can be one of two things. One, it can be a collection of photos glued together to create an entirely different image, story, or abstract artwork. Or two, it can be made of images pasted on canvas and then brushed over with paint. Moreover, it is made not with pictures alone but also with other things and ordered in a way that they create something new. In other words, it is a hodgepodge of various things.
When digitized on the other hand, it can only be made with pictures. The reason is quite obvious. Various pictures may be cut, or skewed, or changed in color in the computer to create new art. Then it may be printed to be placed in a frame as a gift or may be posted online.
As implied, both traditional and modern methods have their fair share of advantages and disadvantages. The former for example, limits a person to whatever traits are available in his or her materials but presents the advantage of a wide array of items that can be used to make a collage. The later on the other hand makes use of pictures only but with the aid of an editing software, one can manipulate the materials' size, color, mood, or lighting.
But what highlights the distinction between the two methods is the latter's speed. Of course, the modern method will always be faster, even if one is going to work with tons of pictures. With softwares being sold online for a small fee or for free, anyone can make a collage with just a click or few clicks of a mouse.
Moreover, one rarely makes mistakes in the computer world which he or she cannot erase. A digitized photo montage can be done, undone, and redone in seconds. More importantly, one can even make several versions of the work and compare them to see which one is fit for printing or posting.
With the use of digital collages, one can transform pillow cases, mugs, or t-shirts into personalized gift items. One can even use them in his or her mixed media masterpiece. The promise of a digitized picture montage is almost endless. And if circumstance permits, one can even make a personalized wallpaper made of photos for his or her home.
Making digital collages is easy. However, using a software without getting the hang of it may be hard. Knowing how to use one may take time and effort. But it has little weight since once you get used with the software, you become limitless. You can transform items into personalized gifts with ease. But the best part of it is you can make memories last in an artistic way.
