images are from the Internet.

i was assigned the topic of "mosaics" for a Get It Scrapped article. i looked at a couple of tutorials for creating digital mosaics but didn't like the result for two reasons ... they were always flat and you could easily identify a repeating pattern. so, i tried to come up with a way to create a mosaic that had dimension and used a repeating pattern that was not obvious. this is the result. the background is made up of old Hitchcock movie posters. they form the pattern for the rest of the mosaic. using size, shadow and blending variations i was able to create a more dimensional mosaic. after the mosaic part was done (fast forward several hours ...) i played with images of Hitchcock himself.

if you are not a big Hitchcock fan, he liked to leave subtle clues in his movies. as a nod to that (and in my not so subtle way) i included "zzy yet?" (dizzy yet? for Vertigo) and "king in?" (checking in? for Psycho).

Thanks for looking
