Abstract: This invention is directed to a method of creating a PXLgram using a programmable device connected to a video display, comprising the steps of: creating an image library, wherein at least one image is stored; selecting one image to be an overlay image; setting the scale; selecting one or more images to be grid images; creating a grid having tiles arranged in rows and columns; populating each tile of the grid with one of the grid images; overlaying the grid of grid images with the overlay image; and assigning a degree of transparency for the overlay image. Another aspect of this invention is a website that allows users to create PXLgrams, which can be used in advertisements. The invention is also directed to the rapid transmission of a library of images in a very short period of time, and that can manipulated in to unique sets of images.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a method of creating a photographic mosaic, wherein a target image is recreated using a computer, comprising the steps of: creating an image library, and selecting one image in the image library to be the target image, selecting one or more images in the image library to be the source images, dividing the target image into a number of areas (squares or rectangles) of equal size, evaluating each area for luminance and assigning a luminance value for each area, evaluating the source images for luminance and assigning a luminance value for each image, re-sizing the source images to the size of the areas, and creating the photographic mosaic by placing a source image in every area of the target image by matching the luminance value of the area with the closest luminance value of a source image within a predetermined margin.
