July 2010 – Multi Purpose Templates

jdir — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 10:00:31 +0000

This posting illustrates how you might use a basic image template, as a foundation for adding your own thoughts to create an inspirational message plaque for your digital picture frame, computer wallpaper, or print. Of course this approach requires beginning with an image that provides you with a canvas for having something inspirational to say. If you have a profound thought you want to share with someone, the inspiration might occur before you have an image to help you illustrate it. Ideas come from all sorts of directions. Are you ready to share your own inspirations?

June 2010 – Multi Purpose Templates

jdir — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 10:00:54 +0000

Matte watch offers a variety of items made from your photos and mine, including digital matting, inspirational and humorous plaques, awards, custom promotional, commemorative photo treatments, digital greeting cards, and digital calendars designed for your digital picture frame, computer wallpapers, or for you to create graphical prints and wall hangings. The question is why? My answer is that I have found a lot of enjoyment in the creative effort, and if I make a few bucks doing it, that is all right as well. I offer you the variety because you should have a way to make your photos come alive, and allow them to please you beyond the original memories they invoke. You may ask, “If I buy one of your photo treatments, can I resell them for myself?” If you purchase one of my personal photo treatment images, I hold the copyright on those, so I would ask that you only purchase them for your enjoyment. If you purchase images made from your photos, you can do as you wish in selling or republishing them, as long as you do not claim copyrights to the matting design enhancements, thus using only the image as a whole in going forward with your own plans. Whew! Now, on with my next personal offering.

In the next series, I have created an idea for a multi purpose template design which can be used in a variety of ways that my next few articles will demonstrate. Though this will have a limited scope, it may work well for a variety of picture types. The following creation makes a nice matted image for display.

Click on the image to get a copy at full resolution. Enjoy.

May 2010 – Woods 3

jdir — Fri, 07 May 2010 10:42:40 +0000

While thinking about inspirational themes, I quickly came upon a subject for the photo plaque presented below. In an indirect way, the idea provides some solace for those who are experiencing difficulties in their lives, and may seem to be alone in their anguish. This message reminds me that during such times, we are not the first to experience what we are going through, and others have struggled through similar circumstances to emerge victorious. Struggles diminish us, but also strengthen our resolve to see them pass. For a higher resolution look at the image, click on the picture.

April Towers 5 2010

jdir — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 10:00:13 +0000

Inspiration comes from everywhere, especially if you are looking for it. My inspiration for this post was a bit more of a wrestling match than at other times. As I sat at my desk looking at this digital plaque, it suddenly dawned on me that there are a lot of people in the world who spend time telling others about their woes, and all the things they find limiting, daunting, damaging, or boring about where they are. This offering provides a simple and effective reminder about what you can do when you find yourself in a similar mood or situation.
