WHY COLLAGES WORK

Use More Than One Photo Without Making the Design Feel Busy

The key is keeping the layout simple. Three or four photos usually give each image enough room to stay recognizable while still creating a collage effect.

Instead of adding many tiny pictures, choose a smaller group of meaningful photos and make each one large enough to see clearly.

PHOTO SELECTION

Choose Photos That Work Together

Clear FacesUse photos where each person is easy to recognize.
Similar QualityTry to avoid mixing one sharp photo with several very blurry ones.
Simple CropsCrop away unnecessary background so the main subject stays visible.
Balanced LayoutGive each image enough space instead of stacking too many small pictures together.
LAYOUT TIP

Build the Collage Before You Upload

Podtas custom photo products currently use image-upload customization. If you want several photos on one shirt, combine them into one finished JPG or PNG before uploading.

You can arrange the photos vertically, in a simple grid, or with one larger image and smaller supporting photos. Keep the finished design centered and leave a little room around the outer edges.

BLACK OR WHITE?

Choose the Shirt Color After You Build the Collage

For collages, look at the overall background and edge colors of the finished image. A darker collage can feel more natural on black, while lighter family photos may work well on white.
