The Collage Section

A hand-arranged pile of photos and paper notes. Tilt them, slide them and bring one forward.

Best for: A playful, personal set: the studio wall, a mood board, behind the scenes.

The Layout tab

  • Style: Editorial, Tabletop, Taped up, Instant photo or Layered paper. Tabletop is a real pile; the rest get tidier.
  • Looseness: how untidy. Zero lines every piece up square.
  • Space across and Scale: the room between pieces and the size of the whole collage.
  • Show Captions.
  • Where they sit (Above or Below) and Alignment (Left or Centred) for the words.
  • On a phone the pieces stack into one column and keep their frames.

The Collage Layout tab

The settings every section shares are explained in Section Colors, Fonts and Backgrounds. Most sections also have Container width, Density and Advanced spacing.
