Why did I not find this site first!
You know what they say, "you get what you pay for". Well that can not be more true in this situation. My finished mosaic looked as cheap as $5.00 haircut (and let me tell ya, that is not a good thing). The best advice I can give to anyone looking to purchase a photo mosaic is this - Do your homework and trust your instinct, because if something is too good to be true it probably is.
Are you kidding me?
I ordered a mosaic from Design-A-Mosaic and for the price I figured what the heck. Well, let me tell you, the mosaic I received was a complete joke. It was just a grid of photos with the source photo ghosted over the whole thing. Everything was very faded and print resolution was just par. You gotta love when you waste your time and money.
;-(
Worth the price?
I looked at a few other companies before going to Design A Mosaic. They looked like a good middle of the road company, not cheap, yet not too pricey. The examples on their website looked a little faded in some spots, but I figured the final product would look a lot better since the size was much larger with detail. I was wrong, the final product actually looked worse :/ some of the smaller pictures look incredible, while most of them are faded and hard to see. Almost looks like two layers pasted on each other. Another thing I noticed is not all of my pictures were used in the mosaic, a few of which I really wanted in there.
I guess I can't complain too much, the over all product isn't all that bad considering the price. If I ever get another one made, I'll definitely spend the extra cash on another company if it means a better result.
Disappointed
Glad this site exists; after two email proofs, I was still very unsatisfied with the way the mosaic looked. It was just a bunch of photos with my main photo ghosted/photoshop'd on top. I am disappointed I wasted my time - at least they were nice enough to refund my credit card.
Unfortunately, too good to be true
A custom mosaic for under $20...I was sold! Unfortunately, I now realize it must not be possible to produce mosaics at this price, because the resulting product was simply a grid of photos with my main image superimposed on top. It does not seem like any effort was taken in trying to use colors or shapes with my smaller photos to create the larger image. I think my son could have done a better job in Photoshop. If you are looking for a cheap quick and dirty "mosaic-like" product, then this might be for you...
