How to use grid to make a book mosaic

Get the free app Grid.

Create your free account and log in.

Begin to create your first grid. Note: you might see other grids and tutorials on this screen when you first log in, but you can delete them if you want.

You create your squares/tiles by clicking and revealing this green dot. Hold the dot down and 'draw' a square for how big you want your tile to be.

Once you have a tile, you can type in it or add a photo. I used the book mosaic template and started with a the first one, which is the book's title. You can change color, size, fonts, etc.

This is what my grid over the book And the Mountains Echoed looks like. (I started just with the top row but I may finish it soon!) See the specifics for the project here: http://tinyurl.com/nypdqy3

Just swipe up with one finger on any square. It will reveal options like the one pictured here to type text.

This is what it looks like when you are editing your text.

The second tile is for picture of the protagonist, and the next tile is the picture of the book's setting. Swipe up in the tile to reveal options for resizing, etc.

To share a grid, click the people icon on the very bottom of your screen.

Then e-mail it (to me if you are my student). Remind recipients to look for a message from Binary Thumb, not Grid. And also tell them to check their trash if they can't find it right away!
