Looking for some advice in general layout and how dimensions work...
I am making a collage of pictures for my 10th anniversary present for my wife. My general plan is to put a couple bigger pictures in the middle and then outline the edge in other pictures. My options for the total dimension at my local store are as follows - all in inches (apologies if that's harder) 16x20, 20x30, 20x20, 24x36 ... My question is what kind of sizes in general could i use for my pictures to get them to fit correctly. My thought was to make a kind of film strip graphic on the outside edge and put the pictures on the inside of that... I wanted to do 2 bigger pictures in the middle to kind of signify the now and then aspect. It will be a metal print.
Anyways any tips or advice will be most appreciated. I will be using GIMP to make everything if that makes a difference. I'm still going through pictures and collecting them in a folder.... My wife is the graphic design person lol but it defeats the purpose if I ask her for help to make it.
