In addition to Jill’s suggestions, perhaps the term mosaic?

I would call that a collage, or if all photos, a photo collage.

I'm hoping that the collective wisdom of arlis colleagues will have an answer to this: I've been trying to find examples of images or drawings where the image, perhaps a face or figure, is made up of multiples of small images like letters, words, or figures, etc. Is there a term or label for such images? Or a more precise description for them? If you can point me to any examples, or names of artists (probably graphic artists in advertising or commercial art?), I would appreciate it. Kathy Zimon
