“This is what I like about photographs. They’re proof that once, even if just for a heartbeat, everything was perfect.”

— Jodi Picoult

A photograph speaks a thousand words. It is truly a passport to the past.

Ever since the pandemic happened, restrictions have made travel seem like a distant dream. Given the current scenario, we can only bid on hope that things will start to look normal again. Until then, old travel pictures will have to remind us of the times well spent.

Be it on film or on Facebook, you probably have abundant snaps that tell tales of many of your adventures and escapades. If you do, you’re one of the lucky few. If you have old travel photographs, you have lived well.

And there’s no reason why those photographs can’t bring a smile to your face again.

But when you have so many pictures, tucked away in albums, both offline and online, how do you keep track of them? How do you preserve old photos and bring those memories back to life? The answer lies in repurposing photographs. It may seem a bit tricky, but once you have decided which photos you would like to use you can adapt them and resize an image online as a free download and then upload them to create your design.

The best way to do that is to make a travel collage with PosterMyWall’s travel collage templates.

Why Make A Photo Collage?

If you’re experiencing what the millennials called “FOMO” a.k.a “the Fear of Missing Out”, why not take refuge in photos?

A photo collage is a great way of keeping yourself engaged in a happy task while also basking in the glory of nostalgia. If not anything, making one can cheer you up and take away your lockdown blues.

There are two things a travel photo collage can do for you. It can:

Take You on a Walk Down Memory Lane

Putting old travel photos up on your wall can help you relive some amazing memories. Thanks to the pandemic, we have so much time on our hands and most of this time is spent at home. Why not make travel the theme of our living spaces?

If being in the “now” is the need of the hour, there’s no better way to do that than by breathing life into your old travel photos.

Make a Lovely Wedding Anniversary Gift

Usually, the most common way to celebrate a special occasion is to travel to a new place and make some new memories. Since this is something that’s been put on hold indefinitely, it’s time to give yourselves or your loved ones a collage of travel photos as a testimony to all the wonderful times you’ve spent together.

Here’s how PosterMyWall can help you create a sweet travel collage for decorating your home space or gifting a loved one:

Step 1: Choose the Right Template

Whether it’s Rome or Dubai, PosterMyWall has a special template for every nook and cranny of the world. Accompanied by various kinds of themes, sizes, and shapes, its travel collage templates offer you a variety of digital options to take your pick from.

If you want something vintage, choose a classic collage template. If you fancy a rather modern touch, go for the collection of minimalistic collage designs.

When life gives you travel restrictions, you make a travel photo collage out of it. Compile all your favorite moments in one frame and use a template that’s designed to bring out the best in the photos.

Step 2: Add Photos and Customize the Collage

Once you’ve picked the foundation of your collage, move on to adding photos into the collage template. You can do this by playing around with the editor on PosterMyWall. It’s just as easy to remove or delete photos that you don’t want to feature in your collage.

Click the “Photo” tab in the Menu column on the left, click on “Add from My Photos”, and you’re done. Now, once the photos you want are uploaded onto PosterMyWall, drag them around to place them in the collage template.

You can even add photos from your Facebook account. Click on the Photo tab, choose the option that says, “Add from Facebook” and there you have it. If you wish, add multiple photos at one go.

Step 3: Give Your Collage a Personal Touch

Customizing your collage comes next. Give your photos a fine finish and a unique style with PosterMyWall’s cropping and masking tools.

You may want to crop unnecessary things from the frame. Use the Crop tool to focus on one primary subject in your collage. Click on the photo you want to crop, go to “Edit Image” and click on “Crop”.

If you want to completely change or remove the background or a certain element of your photo, use the masking tool.

For extra oomph and finesse, add some effects to your photos. On PosterMyWall, you can add some visual amplifiers like Edge Effects, Glow, Filters, Tints, Borders, and more.

You can also remove colors if you want a transparent background for text or other things.

Step 4: Save, Download, and Print

The final step is to get your hands on the collage once you’ve created it.

Find the “Save” button between the “Share” and “Resize” tab. Don’t forget to save your work because you have to save it if you want to download it and then print it out.

You can download a free basic image but this image will accompany a tiny watermark. It makes for a great image to share online.

For the price of $2.99, you can download your collage in a Standard Image format. This image can be printed up to 12 inches.

If you’re willing to shell out $7.99, you can download your saved work in High Resolution and get it printed in up to a nine-ft tall print.

A Glimpse of Unforgettable Times

Travel and photography go hand in hand. From capturing the most enjoyable moments to framing them up and glorifying them forever, travel photos are valuable, timeless, and priceless possessions.

Making a travel collage doesn’t just display the pictures, it also preserves them and treasures your memories for life.

With PosterMyWall and its large collection of travel collage templates, you can make your travel memories come back to life once again.
