Happy Tuesday!
Today I have something really special to share with you. Have you ever seen a photomosaic? It is a photograph made up of hundreds or thousands of tiny photographs. There is one in the entryway of Daniel's office that I made of the front of our school from images of one of our retreats.
This looks like it would be really complicated and cost lots of money to do. Well, I'm here to share with you an absolutely FREE and SIMPLE way to do this.
The software is a free download it is called MacOsaix and it is incredibly powerful.
Here are the steps you need to follow in order to make your own, unique mosaic.
For my 'master image' I chose the Apple Logo. For my 'source' images, I chose Google Image Search. This, then, searches Google Images to find millions of possible 'tiles' with which to make your mosaic. You can also use your iPhoto library or a specific folder of images. For example, you could make a mosaic from all the images you've taken this school year to give to your students. Or, your students could choose a single image, say of the Mayflower and then make a mosaic of that image using all the photographs you've collected of the Mayflower project. You can even use a Quick Time Movie. It will literally pull FRAMES from your movie to make individual tiles. It's only limited by your imagination.
So, how will you use this FREE and SIMPLE Tool? I'd love to hear.
