A travel memory board lets friends arrange photos, tickets and notes. Uniform cards lose the character of collected keepsakes. The priority is a handmade collection of fragments, rather than skeuomorphism’s single coherent object metaphor.
How: work toward a solution
Photograph, ferry ticket and note have distinct paper treatments. Select a keepsake and use Move earlier or Move later to reorder it. The document order changes too. Reset restores photo, ticket, note.

What: the concept
Tactile collage combines material fragments into a handmade composition. It is an editorial category, not a claim about when collage began. Overlap and texture must leave text, controls and focus fully visible.
Choose a collage when independent fragments should retain their own character. Skeuomorphism may represent one coherent object, while a uniform grid privileges equal comparison. These treatments can coexist where reading order stays clear.
02Applications
The travel board combines a generated photograph, a fictional ticket and a short memory. An exhibition scrapbook or creative moodboard can use similar layers. Text belongs in HTML, not inside untranslated image assets.
03Implementation & cautions
Offer buttons for reordering; dragging alone excludes some users. Move actual DOM nodes so keyboard and reading order agree. At the first or last position, a repeated move leaves the order unchanged and announces the position. Tape stays decorative.
