Photo Mosaics

Choosing the Right Image

The best photos to use are zoomed in faces with plain backgrounds.  

Zoomed in images result in much more detail!

 I found this photo of Patriot Pat but had to crop Brady out with photo editing software.  I also turned the background yellow for more contrast.

If creating a mosaic for our rolling stand, it should be:

 57 stickers or 19 cubes wide 

and no more than 93 stickers or 31 cubes tall

Refer to the ratios on the image below to achieve the maximum sized mural. 

It is also highly recommended to change the green sticker color to white.  Experience has shown that green often doesn't look good in our mosaics so we are removing it. 

Finally, I adjusted the color threshold slider until I liked the mosaic.  Here's the mosaic it produced and the pdf that contains the cube-by-cube instructions to make the mosaic!
