In this selection, the perspective and smoky bubble lens effects give this photo a certain “other worldly” quality that I liked about it.  The multi purpose template design allows you to create various treatments of the picture, including calendar, inspiration, greeting card, or even an award design just by adding text and saving a copy.  For a closer look in higher resolution, click on the image.

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?

Inspirational Plaques

Images can be the source for many inspired thoughts.

My multi purpose template begins with a basic matted photo design, and then adds text or graphics to transform the picture into a form with utility.  You can purchase the basic design, then add enhancements to extend the use of the image into a wide variety of other images to display in a digital picture frame, as a computer wallpaper, or print the image to use as a wall hanging.  In the example below, I imposed a calendar on the graded color area to create a monthly calendar.  A day by day or perpetual calendar could be made by using the baseline image, and adding a month and day to the same shaded area, or by adding a day of the week, month, day, and year in text using almost any available graphics program like Paint.  Presuming you want to change the base image once per month, the total cost of this do it yourself method would be $36 per year.  Of course, I could also produce all these variations for you at $3 per image, but if you want to use your own creativity, the cost savings for using the multipurpose template made from your photos would be significant, and a fun project for you to try. 

Digital Calendars

Use a multipurpose template to create your own monthly, daily, or perpetual calendars.

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.
