For the last few years photo puzzles have become increasingly popular and today many people buy them to turn their home photographs into souvenirs and gifts for family and friends.
Not only are various design and wording styles possible, but the overall quality of the finished product is now excellent. The photo jigsaw puzzle industry has developed immensely in order to meet the more unusual designs and ideas requested by customers.
The trouble with taking hundreds of digital photographs is that they tend to stay on your computer and rarely see the light of day. This really goes against the whole point of photos, which is to be looked at and enjoyed. Enter the personalized photo puzzle. From your favourite photos, you can create a personalized photo puzzle that becomes a work of art.
It’s an ideal way to remember a special event, holiday or family get together, and can be kept for yourself or given to others as gift. Whether they be young or old, everyone would love to receive such an item.
While a single photo works well, families today are becoming increasingly more imaginative when it comes to creating personalized images. Using a variety of pictures to create a photo collage, which is what most people do, is the recommended approach. There are two ways to create your own photo collage for making into a puzzle.
The low tech way is to choose half a dozen or so of your favourite photographs, print them off and scatter them across a larger cardboard sheet, or even the carpet in your living room. Lay them out in order or just randomly scattered at different angles, slightly overlapping. Having decided on the layout, you then just need to take a photo of it from directly above. It may sound basic, but it works and you get a nice digital photo collage the low tech way.
For something a bit more advanced, you can use your computer to achieve the same effect with your digital images. Free programs are available on the internet to allow you to create and save your own photo collage. You might want to try out a piece of software from Google called ‘Picasso’ which is ideal for such a purpose as this.
Either way, it’s easy to create a personalized image that can be used to create a photo puzzle that is truly memorable and unique.
