1. A method for generating and displaying a scrolling mosaic of a group of images on a display screen of a computing device having a processor, comprising: displaying a user input interface on the display screen of the computing device to facilitate obtaining or receiving via the processor the group of images; and processing the group of images in order to assemble the scrolling mosaic from a plurality of image templates, each image template including a plurality of image tiles, each image template having a height and width that is the same size as the screen of the computing device wherein a plurality of the image templates have image tiles of varying dimensions, and wherein the mosaic is assembled by:
(a) virtually assembling the plurality of image templates into a linear string of image templates having a linear length that is greater than a length of the display screen of the computing device; (b) populating the plurality of image tiles within the linear string of image templates with images from the group of images; and (c) displaying the mosaic on the display screen of the computing device.
