I was told the mosaic would look best with either a 1-2 subject photo or landscape photo as the main picture, so, after browsing through our pictures for a long time, I decided to do my mosaic with pictures from our trip out west. I loved all the gorgeous scenery in Utah and Colorado, and this was a beautiful way to remember the fun time we had. I was expecting the mosaic to look good, but, honestly, it exceeded my expectations! It is really beautiful!
Is that gorgeous, or what? The picture really doesn't do it justice :)
Here's a couple shots up close, so you can see the smaller pics that make up the big picture!
(Sorry about the glare)
I love that you can still see the small pictures, too. It is like having a photo album and a wall hanging at the same time! I can't wait to get this framed so I can hang it on my wall.
The history of this company is interesting to read, too.
"For Christmas of 2003, I created a photo mosaic and gave it to my parent's as a Christmas gift. They loved it, and proudly displayed it in our living room so that everyone that visited our house would see it. When people would see the photo mosaic, they would ask me where I got it. I would explain that I created the photo mosaic on my computer, and did not know of a place where they could order one. They would always look disappointed, and express something along the lines of "Oh.. I was hoping I could order one".
After many requests from friends and family, Design A Mosaic was created in 2005 to produce stunning photo mosaics for our customers. Our state of the art photo mosaic process combines skilled photo mosaic artists and our sophisticated, cutting edge technology to create photo mosaics that are not only high quality, but also a great value. Customer satisfaction is extremely important to us and if you are not 100% satisfied with your photo mosaic we will be happy to give you a complete refund."
Now the best part of this? Design-A-Mosaic is giving one of my readers their very own custom Photo Mosaic! It will be the same size I received for review, the 16x20 on photo paper!
