This week I hope you will be tickled by the offerings posted on the site.  I am working hard to provide enough ideas to inspire you to go out and get the pictures that mean something to you, and bring them here to treat them right.  I put together some creations that made me feel better about taking a picture of a feather on the ground.  I knew it would come in handy sometime.  Though I can work with most digital picture frame resolutions, I recommend using matted picture creations in a frame that is at least 10 inches.  Anything smaller than that just seems to lose impact.   Not that you cannot try it, but the smaller frames make your pictures look so small, they are not much good for regular photos either.  As the technology continues growing in popularity, you can get some of the larger frames for much better prices if you take the time to look around and compare.  On with the show.

People take pictures to preserve the memories of important occasions, precious moments, events, places, family, friends, and a host of other reasons.  Some images are lost in obscurity over time, some are classic, and others become lasting impressions of times gone by.  No matter how good or bad a picture turns out to be, it is kept for reasons often forgotten.  When your photo is important enough to become a keepsake, it is also important enough to commemorate.  Depending on the subject of the pictures, the emotion, memory, and details about the shots can range from elaborate and deep, to simple identifiers to preserve reminders of when and where they were taken.  For my own part, if there is not enough meaning to remember a photo, there is not enough reason to keep it.  For the photos that mean the most, I have a number of ways to help you commemorate and showcase the personal thoughts associated with them, in a fashion that gives them the valued treatments they deserve.

The first example shows one technique for providing a photo commemorative.  With a rich combination of matting techniques and prose, the photo is elevated to a level that tells the viewer that this is an important image.  Do you want to take all your photos to this level?  I think not, but everyone has a few special memories that deserve to be preserved at this level of attention.

Photo, prose, matting tell the complete story of your images.

The next commemorative example is a step down from the first.  Certainly, the matting treatment gives the picture a boost over plain display, but the added description which identifies the date, location, and subject of the shot help to enhance and identify the purpose behind it.

Showcase even simple compositions with meaningful commemorations

The third commemoration provides a matted photo with a simple label to remind the owner when and where the photo was taken, notated directly on the digital matting.  This is a nice alternative to scratching out a hand written note on the back of a nice print.

Labels on matted photos provide succinct history

In the final example, the photo itself is altered to reflect a thought or mood for the scene, coupled with another matte label.  All these treatments work well for a digital picture frame display, or as a computer screen wallpaper. 

Special effects, matting and labels convey mood, impression and intent for special photos

Share your memories with friends and family by commemorating the occasions you want to remember.  What can I do to help you give your pictures the kind of appreciation they deserve?

My first design for this week provides a bright mixture of colors and textured accents to get you in the mood for the fall season.  I decided to use this design as my own screen wallpaper for the month.  With enough space to add events and company logos, this would be a good basic promotional calendar design for just about any business to capture the attention of customers who are ready to see something memorable from your business.

Calendars make great desktop accents.

The second offering of the week is a brightly colored calendar cube design that has enough punch to satisfy any calendar buying enthusiast.  I like to use this kind of design in my digital picture frame to add dimension and flair to any room in the house.  This calendar page is tempting to keep on hand after the month has passed.  It is also good for posting event information in a simulated metallic etching, all at no extra cost per image.

Who says calendars have to be boring? Not me...

If you like green marble texture, the third calendar for this week will appeal to your senses along with the embedded matted photo accent which further enriches the image.  This composition might go well with marble counter tops or other marble design accents around the house.  Using virtual materials makes it easy and affordable to look rich on a working person’s salary.

Virtual elegance can be yours now.

The last calendar for the month uses metallic accents to enrich the fall photo theme, through a blend of textured copper and brass coloring in a simple, yet elegant design.  This type of calendar design also lends well to promotional calendar purposes, adding snap and value to events, advertising, and company logo impressions.  All these digital designs carry the added value of being produced once, then replicated as many times as needed for no extra cost or effort.  Just get a page and send it to all your customers or friends via email or by loading them directly into a digital picture frame.  By spreading the electronic images, there are no mailing or printing costs to make a big hit.  Where else can you get designs like these for so little?

Beef up your promotional reach for less than a song...

Next up is a cheerful play of rocks, flowers, grasses matted on a sparkling green background.  This digital photo matting design looks great as both a screen wallpaper or used as intended for digital picture frame content.  Just when I think I have come up with my favorite photo and matting design, something new and different takes its place.  I think these treatments enrich every photo I take the time to work with, do you agree?

This week’s digital award design is inspired by what I would rather have given to someone entering our photo contests.  The award features another nice shot of flowing bushes in the botanical garden setting.  I am still waiting for visitors to show me their own shots that I can feature as award winners. 

Beautiful awards await for those to participate.

My last offering is a digital plaque design using a spherically arranged flower grouping and some special lighting effects to dazzle the eye with this week’s inspirational sentiments.  All my treatments are made from the kind of simple photos taken by every day people like me.  I think these ideas turn my pictures into something special to see.

For this week’s selections, I used some of my Texas photos to build some unique digital photo matting creations that express the mood and focus I had in my approach. 

The first item is a variation on a 3-up calendar presentation using textures, colors, and a matted photo at the entrance to Hemisfair Park, San Antonio, Texas.  Though I have personally found these kinds of designs handy for ticking off the days at work on my screen wallpaper, I am not sure I like using them as much on my digital picture frame.  I guess it is a case for budget and different strokes for different folks.

My second presentation is a digital inspirational plaque, sporting another matted photograph of a portion of the beautiful fountains in Hemisfair Park.  I was really taken with the clean beauty of the fountains, and the rushing water pouring down from everywhere.  If you have not ever been there, it is worth the trip to see.

For this week’s digital award offering, I decided to create a potential award presentation for the beleaguered mayor of Kansas City, Missouri.  The matted photo of a drowned armadillo came from Dallas Texas while we were visiting a lake near the botanical gardens.  I guess the animal hopped in over its head, and though the shell seems to float fine, maybe the creature should have learned to float on its back.  Now, all I need is for somebody to buy it and present it to the lucky winner.  Will anybody step up?  I’ll let you know if they do.

My digital photo matte for the week gives this picture from the San Antonio Riverwalk a nicely highlighted dimension, as it brings out the earth tones in the photograph.  I think this matte provides a new level of richness for this scene, which is one of my favorite pictures.  This matte will look good in whatever means selected to showcase it.
