    @lillian-parks03 – Aww, thank you! I’m glad you enjoy my work.

    Yours looks awesome, and if you didn’t know, black and white/greyscale color coordinated collages are my favorite graphic designing projects EVER, so it speaks to my soul.

    I would recommend trying to even out the spaces you have between photos so they’re all evenly spaced.

    I use a program on my computer called paint and paint.net that just came with it. It’s limited options, but I don’t have internet at home, so I can’t use my favorite editor all the time. My favorite is called pixlr. So many options, so you could check that out if you’re interested in doing further things. If you’re looking for websites for pictures that are royalty free, you can try unsplash or istock.

    Personally, I almost never create something that’s not color coordinated, so it’s easy for me to see one picture and branch off by matching colors and themes.

    One tip – always try to have ‘balance’ in the collage. If you’re going with black and white, try not to make the dominantly black photos all to one side and all the greyer ones to the other. Also try to combine different picture sizes and shapes unless you’re going for a perfectly the same size collage, which are great too.

    Hope this helps!
