Abstract: Images may be arranged in a minimal number of media areas through a recurring process of positioning an image within a white space of the media area and subdividing the white space into an image space in which the image is positioned, a second white space, and a third white space. The second white space occupies a region of the first white space not occupied by the first image along a first direction while the third white space occupies a region of the first white space not occupied by the image along a second direction. Then, subsequent images may be positioned within the unoccupied white spaces if the images spatially fit in one of an original or rotated orientation. As images are placed into unoccupied white spaces, the white spaces may be further subdivided.
