Hi everyone,
I'm a huge F1 fan and I decided to make myself a poster picturing F1 champions from 1950 to 2009. I browsed the Internet and found the necessary 60 pictures - one for every champion.
I have a few ideas on how it's going to look design-wise but basically I would like it to be a 10column/6row format as shown below, with all the pictures, described and framed, stuck closely together:
The problem that I'm facing is certainly easy to overcome but I'm really new to this sort of things and I actually hesitated a bit and wondered if I should post this thread, until I read in the Section Rules that this is the place for "dumb" questions
Anyway, as I mentioned, I've managed to collect all the photos but the problem for me is that they are all in different size and resolution. In theory, I know how to change the size of the photo and I can crop/resize them with no major problems to the required 10x15cm format. However, I don't really know how to put them all together into one big poster.
Let's say that I prepared all the photos (described, framed and all in the same size) and I have 60 photos of the same size. How do I go about and make the poster big enough for all these photos? Again, theoretically, I know how to create a new canvas which is more or less 160cm wide and 75cm high, but when I start pasting in the photos which are in 10x15cm format, they take up almost the entire canvas instead of just a small portion of it :frown: I don't want to resize them all over again and I think that when I try and do that again, the quality is worsening, although it might just be me overthinking it.
Maybe I'm doing this in a wrong way and you could suggest the fastest/easiest way to incorporate all 60 10x15 photos into an empty canvas sized 160x75.
Almost forgot - once ready, I would like the poster to be printed, framed and hung on the wall; it's not only for digital purposes not really sure if that changes anything though.
Any suggestions will be massively appreciated!
Cheers
