A true collage is a group of images laid out (and layered on top of one another) with purposeful shape, layering, and arrangement. Always cite each image you use and provide the original images to show process. It should look seamless rather than a collection of rectangles pasted beside one another. Be sure to use royalty-free / open source images such as those found on Britannica Image Quest (UN/PW in agenda, through our library). See top menu for more on images to use.

 * Quick Steps:**

1. Open the background image (e.g., landscape or pattern with basic colours or plain images)

2. Open first image, select all > copy. Go back to background image and paste the selected first image onto that background. Use erase tool, opacity settings to blend.

3. Repeat step 2 for additional photos. A powerful collage makes keen use of symbolism and unique juxtoposition. Click on the flamingo or here for a collection of samples.
