Muzy’s Friend Collage app is similar to the Collage app, but it allows you access to your friends’ photos on Facebook. Creating collages with your friends’ pictures is a social activity, something you’ll want to share. It’s easy to start. If you’re not connected to Facebook, it’ll ask you to connect so that you can get and use your friends’ photos.

Just log into Facebook as you usually would…

Once you’re logged in (or if you’re already logged in to Facebook when you start the app), your friends’ pics will appear in the collage editor, and you’ll get some brief instructions on how it works.

Just click “get started” to start your collage. You can drag in your friends’ profile pictures.

Plus,  You can still search for any items on Muzy, as well. The Friend Collage app includes some pre-set searches that might be useful when you’re playing with your friends’ photos… things like hats, costumes, and jewelry. I searched for backgrounds using the pre-set background search, added a brick wall, and sent it to the back.

But feel free to search for anything that you might want to include in your collage. I searched and found a nail to help hold the pictures to the wall. I’ll have to erase some of the white around this nail.

I found some tape, too, to reinforce the corners of my friends’ pics.

I can also draw my own elements by clicking on the “Draw New Item” button. Again, it’s just like the normal collage editor… Let’s graffiti up this brick wall.

When I’m done, I can take a look at the posting options… I can add a title, a note, and tags. Concerned about using your friends’ pictures on Muzy? Your collage is automatically set up so that other people can’t use it. If you want other people to use it, you can select “Let other people use this.” You’ll definitely want to share your friend collage on Facebook, so take advantage of Muzy’s sharing feature by clicking “Share on Facebook.”

There are a number of approaches to a friend collage. You can make a “BFF” collage, declaring your friendship for the special people in your life. Or, you can take your teasing to the next level by decking out your best friend as a pirate or spaceman or victim of a shark attack. You can create a personalized birthday (or get well or thank you) card featuring your friend’s photo. Whatever you want to say visually, you can say with a friend collage.
