Creating an Image from lots of smaller images?

Question

Hello,

I want to create a large image using lots of smaller images - just like the Star Wars posters of yoda that are created using stills from the movies. Does anyone have any idea how to do this??

Thanks!!!

Answer 1

this is pretty hard to do. first you need to gather a LOT of pictures of something (i'll just say yoda, because you mentioned it). you need to decide what picture you want to recreate with this, and look at the overall hues of color in different the big picture. then, look at all your pictures and decide which ones would fall into what color categories, and what "lines" they can form (the direction of the main contrasting colors in the picture). so, if you were doing the edge of yoda's ear, you'd want something that was dark green on one side, lighter green on the edge (where the light is brightest on his ears) and bordered by something black (the color of the background, or any shadows that are present in the picture). then, take the painstaking time to put them together, and view it from a distance to see if its working. look at it from 4 times the longest side, away.
(if its on a piece of paper thats 8.5 X 11, stand 44 inches away.)

First, buy a poster. Then you find pictures. (They should be pretty small. You could find them on the Internet.) It may take a long time though. If you are willing to wait, use microsoft paint. You can make pics smaller of bigger and drag them together using the cut tool. When you are done, print it out.
