Canvas Prints – Photos with a difference
October 16, 2008
Few personal possessions can be as highly cherished as a memorable photograph. From happy holidays, family occasions to sporting events, personal photographs capture a moment in time.
In the past, such memories would have been consigned to the photo album, but by transferring normal photographs into a bespoke canvas print, a memorable photograph can be turned into an attractive work of art.
Canvas prints embrace the traditional usage of canvas for producing artwork, giving the photograph texture and warmth, whilst the high quality, splash resistant canvas ensures that not only is the finished print of good quality, but sturdy enough for any minor household accidents.
Customers begin the process the process by supplying their desired photographs. A simple process, this is generally performed via email, although there is an option of posting photographs to the company.
Skilled graphic designers will ensure that the photo supplied is of the best possible quality before printing takes place, any minor blemishes are removed, along with the dreaded ‘red eye’. Colours are carefully balanced to ensure that once completed, the print is of optimum standard.
Once prepared, the photo is then printed onto the canvas. Once again, quality is of paramount importance, archival canvas (as used by professional artists) is used, and printing takes place using a range of Epson wide format printers, using the best ink available.
The final result is an attractive, sturdy piece of art that would make a great talking point for any living room, office or lounge area. A wide range of sizes are available depending on the budget, from 12 x 12 inch prints for £25 a wide range of sizes are available up to a commanding 40 x 60 inches, enough to provide a large centrepiece for any wall, larger sizes still can be provided on an individual quote.
Whilst canvas prints allow the chance for a normal photograph to be transformed into an attractive showpiece, for those with more artistic inclinations a whole world of possibilities are available. Experienced graphic designers offer a bespoke artistic service, for no extra charge photograph colours can be amended to provide such effects as black and white or sepia finishes. However, for those who want something completely different, a standard photographed can be transformed into a mindblowing piece of pop art.
Using the styles of famous pop art names such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, or by employing a contemporary ‘Illustration’ style, graphic designers can transform a photograph into a bespoke, contemporary piece of artwork, tailored to the customer’s wishes for less than the cost of a traditional painting.
For those who wish to do something different with their favourite photographs, canvas printing is an innovate way of creating a memorable, individual way of bringing a photo to life.
