Tip 6: How to compile your own IXXI summer collage

Have you checked the series of photography tips over the past few weeks? If so, you have probably taken many great photos. Don’t just store your special moments on your smartphone, but give them a unique place in the interior of your home. Want to know how? We will give you tips for compiling the perfect summer collage. Get your holiday pics and let’s go creative!



Select your favourites
It is useful to make a selection before you start designing. Pick your best photos and put them into a separate folder on your desktop or smartphone. Even better: is your Instagram feed completely up to date? If so, upload your photos in Step 2 of the design module. Easy does it!



The theme is the key
Using a theme for your collage is the key to success. Make sure all your photos are of the same style, so that they go well together. You can easily do so by selecting a filter. Use this filter for all photos. In Step 3 we selected some good filters for you, but of course you can also apply a filter via an editing app.



Collage makers
Alternate your photos with stock images. Nice quotes, beautiful illustrations and playful patterns: you can find them all in the design module. We have made a selection especially for this great season, so that you can give your collage a summery twist. One image that simply cannot be omitted from your collage: the sunny palm tree.



Attention please!
Sometimes, all the bright summer colours can make your collage look a bit messy. If you want your collage to have a calmer look and you want to make sure each individual photo gets more attention, add a frame to each photo. Click on the photo in the collage, add a frame in your chosen colour and you’re good to go! You’ll see that your colourful collage is no longer a chaotic collection.



Can’t wait to use those fabulous pics? Design your own summer collage and give these beautiful moments a permanent place in your interior. Choose an IXXI Original for a true eye catcher or a Mini for a more subtle effect. This is bound to be a great success! And don’t forget, Tip 7 is coming up.
