The short answer
A family vacation poster looks best when you limit it to 12–20 photos, mix wide scenes with close-ups, and use a gallery layout with even spacing.
Photos to include
- Group photo in the destination
- Kids in action
- Landscape or landmark
- Meals and treats
- Silly moments
- Quiet details like shells or tickets
Avoid the clutter
Because your photos become illustrations in one consistent style, even 20 photos feel orderly.
Let everyone appear
Scan your selection to make sure every family member appears at least twice.
Update as they grow
Make one poster per big trip and hang them as a series.
Suggested style: Illustrated Collage
The collage turns up to 20 photos into a tidy set of illustrated stickers.

FAQ
Can I use portrait and landscape photos together?
Yes. Orientation does not matter: we illustrate what is in the photos, so shape never limits the layout.
What size should I print?
18×24 in is a good family-room size; 12×16 suits hallways.
