Hey everyone,

is anyone familiar with doing these? or any type of composite? I have been asked by a few fraternities and sororities on my campus to do theirs, and it doesn't look to hard...but i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions, and who to print with. how do you all do it? do you make a single jpg image with many layered headshots on it? or do you have the cutout templates with the images behind them?

i'm open and really asking for as many comments / suggestions as possible here.

thank you all so much.

Are you meaning composite as in..

Make them all look like they were in the same scene, but weren't in reality?

Or making a page of photo-montage or scrapbook or yearbook style?

I know exactly what you're talking about as I have several. :-) They're usually a single print, yearbook-page style, but I don't know how it's done these days.

Check this thread. The Fotofusion software might be very useful.

Sorta late on your post, but having been in a fraternity, I can give some advice.

Make sure you find something that includes the framing, or gives the chapter options on what frame they want. The last time we had a photographer ship us a composite w/out a frame, we ended up replacing photographers.

The big draw was always to check if they wanted officer positions listed with their names. President, VP, Secretary, Warden, Steward, Chaplain, etc.

Also best if you can give them a smaller version in black and white for a last minute verification that everything is correct.. names match photo, no misspellings, that sorta thing.
