To create a collage, in a figma.com layout, follow these five steps:

Step 1: Choose the images you want to include in your collage. This could be a selection of photos or graphics you want to combine into one composition.

The start of my life was on the Big Island of Hawaii, where I hold a deep reverence for the island deity Pele, who continues to be vibrant and active through her ongoing eruptions.

Being alive can feel like being a unicorn, prancing gracefully through fields of imagination, or like a playful cat, dancing joyfully to the rhythm of life. It can be as satisfying as savoring a delicious ice cream cone, as invigorating as stretching through yoga asanas, or as fun as playing games with friends. Life can be a beautiful explosion of fun times, and being alive means embracing every moment with wonder and excitement.

STEP 4: Once you’re happy with your collage, save it in a suitable format, such as a JPEG or PNG file, to share it with others or print it out.

Step 5: Copy link to share the URL link as displayed in the image above.

    1. Hi Trenae
      Thanks so much. You made my day to hear that compliment. Your post are pretty awesome too.
      I look forward to reading your blog this week.
      What’s your major?

      Jour

      1. Right now I’m still struggling on figuring out my major. Throughout middle and high school I told myself I was going to become a nurse. However, I decided I didn’t want to follow that path anymore. So, now I’m just researching different majors and taking some classes to see if I like the class and want to go down that path. Which is why I’m taking this communications class! I’m trying to see if communications is the major for me. Still debating though.

  1. When I enrolled in Community College, I followed a similar approach investing two years in liberal arts courses before choosing a major. This allowed me to investigate a variety of subjects and potential career paths that didn’t quite fit with my interests and goals, ultimately leading me to a clearer understanding of what I wanted from a job. I’m grateful for the experience, as it has given me a sense of direction by helping me identify what I don’t want to do with my life. 🙂 I value the experience, as it has enabled me to identify what I don’t want to pursue. It’s admirable that you’re taking the time to discover your ideal fit, as it’s an individual and significant decision.

  2. Awesome work here, Jour!
    (PS – I love the dialog of comments here too!)
    Great work, yet another super example of digital storytelling, content creation, application of graphics, hyperlinks and deeply reflective and thoughtful work!
    I have re-read this 3 times over and it gets better each time!
    I really love seeing you working with these tools and creating a pipeline to further your knowledge!
    We are in the infancy stage of what these Ai tools will be doing in the next 2-4 years, really cool stuff coming!
    What was your favorite tool to use and which tools do you feel best integrate together?
    Im a fan of using Dalle-2 for creating variations of my own work, it helps me see those iterations I likely would have never thought of!
    Forward forward!

  3. Good Day jour,
    Thanks a lot. I was surprised to read your post. It’s very amazing work. You employed numerous tools. Every post is uniquely creative. Your development is fantastic. Your post is also really great. i think i could learn more interesting topics and creative works from your post.
