Welcome to the fifth official challenge of our Digital Scrapbooking Day celebration! For Digital Scrapbooking Day, we're offering challenges related to digital scrapbooking - which will encourage sampling various digital techniques, as well as tasks related to archiving your memories digitally. We will be posting challenges hourly, from 8am to 8pm Eastern.
Digital Scrapbooking Day Challenge #5: Create a photo collage of 10 photos
Let's face it - we take a LOT of photos. In 2005, digital camera users captured approximately 17.1 billion images with their cameras, according to the Photo Industry 2006: Review and Forecast by PMA Marketing Research. They printed 4.5 billion of these images, and including multiple copies, made a total of 7.9 billion prints. And, according to the 2007 PMA U.S. Digital Imaging Survey, 98 percent of
digital camera households stored their digital images using various
storage methods in 2006, but over 1/3 of households do not back up their images at all once they are
transferred to the hard drive.
Use this challenge to jumpstart yourself into action - choose 10 photos out of your stash and create a collage. If you scrapbook traditionally or hybrid, store it safely in an archival page protector. If you scrapbook digitally, save the collage locally, upload it to an online gallery, AND print it out - either at home, or upload it for printing, such as through Shutterfly. Your memories like to be remembered.
It's easy to create multi-photo collages with FxFoto's drag-and-drop technology. No more measuring or second guessing how to format the grid. FxFoto does all the thinking for you.
