Answer 1

Download and use the GIMP for image composition: http://www.gimp.org/ . What you want to do is open a big canvas representing your eventual page and then copy, paste, resize, etc. the images you want to use onto that canvas. You can even keep each image on a separate layer for complete flexibility.

Answer 2

Only superfluous people need pictures. If you want one without looking awkward you can probably get one in yahoo or google "images." I know it's not really you. If you want a real one stand in front of a mirror and take your picture a few times in case of mistakes then get a photo cd if you don't have a digital camera. Then just upload it to wherever you want it.

We are Talking Digital, or at least digitized images, right? all of your answerer's are right. any graphic manipulation program will allow you to composite images, If you don't have Photoshop, Microsoft Paint, or likely Microsoft Picture it!, can do it. Also it is very likely the software package that came with your camera can do it - many of these apps even have a "collage" function' to make the process simpler.

I agree, Photoshop is the way to go. It's easy - get all your pix in one file on a memory stick, find someone with Photoshop, and get them to let you use it. Open a new Photoshop file, size it, and set the dpi (dots per inch) at 75 - good enough for online, and it will keep your file size down. It will open with a layer called "Background" - but you want to open a new layer - Background can be tricky. Using Photoshop, open each of the photos you want to layer - you can drag and drop them into your collage document, and they will show up each in a new layer. Using the "X" tool at the top of your vertical Photoshop tool bar, you can drag them around. Go to "Edit" up at the top toolbar, then go to "Free transform" and you can resize the individual images in your collage. Be sure to click the link icon between the vertical and horizontal percentage boxes to keep your sizing uniform. You can play with the different effects in filter if you want special effects. You can email me with questions if you want.

Answer 5

If you have access to photoshop, I'd use that. It's the best way to do that sort of thing. If not, you could do it using paint and a easy beginner way to approach it.
