    To those of you who have put together inspiration boards: How do you do it?

    How do you get all of the images arranged onto one palette? Is there a special program for inputting the photos you like and it then arranges them for you?

    I've made several in MS Paint. That's about as easy as it gets. You need to have the pictures saved to your hard drive for that to work.

    There's a lot of different ways. StyleMePretty has an inspiration board builder that does it for you if you choose photos. I found it a bit complicated, though. I just made mine in powerpoint on one slide- no need to save images, just copy and paste from the internet and resize/arrange as necessary.

    You can also download Picasa for free.  Just type it into a search engine.  They make it for Mac and PC.

    There is always Polyvore, which makes it pretty easy for you.

    if you have a google account, you can also use google docs and export the files as PDF to share! Or do screen dumps of the slides. :)

    It helps if you have Photoshop, but even Paint will work.  If all else fails - do it the old shool way - print out pics (or cut form magazines) and create a physical board.

     

    I did my first one  here

    you can make one on dessy's website: http://www.dessy.com/styleboard/

    that's how i made mine. you just have to upload all the pictures, but it worked pretty well for me and then i could pick pantone colors that matched with the colors i was going for.

    I save pics on my computer, then arrange them in Powerpoint. If you have adobe writer, you can pdf it and save it as a .jpeg. Otherwise just do a screenshot (print screen button on your keyboard) and paste it into MS Paint. Wow, I just reread that and it sounds complicated, but it really isn't, I promise!

    I use Fireworks for mine.  But yes, agree that powerpoint can work.  I'm trying to figure out a way to allow pics to be bookmarked into a little online booklet.  wouldn't that be awesome?  I'm talking to my techy friends about it...
