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.

This week’s matting display is a screen wallpaper built from a serene Spring walk along the outer edge of an Overland Park, Kansas golf course.  The selection uses very subtle inner matting texture with a graduated outer matte look that allows the color of the sky in the photo to spread beyond the confines of the picture.  We have another version of this photo in the Fall as well from a different color and lighting perspective.

Early Spring walk with a nice view.

The award we had the most fun with this week is this humorous take on an unusual photo featuring the late Fred Rogers and KoKo the gorilla in a happy embrace.  We chose this composition for its unexpected impact and light hearted humor.  Creating awards that include celebrity help to broaden the appeal of the messages, and create familiarity.

Celebrity based humor grabs attention.

Our calendar sample for the week builds on a dual set of photographs from the same area, and adds a marble textured background that compliments the colors of the photographs.  Though we generally create our calendars according to the photos that will be displayed on the pages, we can also provide a twelve month theme from a singular background, if someone likes a particular composition more than others.  The pictured composition is a side by side design that works well in digital photo frames and as wallpapers, but we can also provide the traditional calendar page orientation as well.  If a customer wants us to create a series with their own logo and events for resale, we can do this as well for the same $3 per page set up. 

One of many beautiful virtual textures available with digital designs.

If we can do something for you, send us an email describing what you have in mind.  Whether we are matting your photos, making calendar pages, or creating awards, our composition prices are the best you will find anywhere.  These items make great gifts for friends and family, and in these hard times, everyone can use a good laugh.  If you want to use something you find on our site, we ask you to donate $3 per image.  Send us a note about what kind of items you like the most, and we can keep more ideas coming.

With digital matting and photos, the designs that arise from this approach can produce some unique and interesting results.  Take a look at this image used as a Valentines Day greeting.

Digital designs can create some nice seasonal greetings with a personal touch.

The format of this offering can be used as a screen wallpaper, displayed in a digital picture frame, or even printed.  This “greeting card” can also be delivered via email.  With this particular idea, the sender set up the picture as a wallpaper on his wife’s computer, so it would be there when she booted up her system.  As couples look to keep their romance kindled, this form of little “note” gets the point across quite nicely.  For other seasonal occasions or “just because” we can design digital greetings that you can print or send to friends and family.  If you have other family members with digital picture frames, you can send each other nice keepsake holiday wishes using the creativity of digital matting techniques.

In designing the piece, the sender used photos of himself and a Valentine’s Day wreath, his wife had made, as the focus of the message.  We took that theme and surrounded it with a rose colored background, burl wood, and onyx frame, with a golden sheet metal front to capture the sentiment of the words.  From the feedback, the personalized idea went over better than a box of candy.

If you have some ideas for seasonal greetings or personalized messages you want to create from your digital photos and images, send us an email, and find out how we can help.  At only $3 per designed image, we cannot afford to return long distance calls, so stick with emails please.  If you like our designs, please donate $3 for each image you use to help us continue offering fresh ideas.  Come often and tell your friends about us.

As this month begins a new showcase of favorite items, the first offering swings back to yet another kind of comic award, which toasts Katie Couric and anyone else who might be the recipient of such an acknowledgement.  The item works best as a personalized presentation, but could get some laughs in its generic form as well.  There is plenty of celebrity fodder to create this kind of humorous twist.

Use faux celebrity awards to impress friends and add a twist of humor.

 The second favorite is a screen wallpaper matted photo of Spring colors in a budding tree.  While the picture shows accents of light and shadows, the matting compliments the shot using photo textures, color gradients, and more textured matte accents to make the end result a more interesting and unique look.  See if you are not drawn in by the mix.

Matting techniques enhance interest in this shot.

Our last item is another calendar page design to demonstrate a unique way to display the month’s personalized events, matted photo highlights with color accents and subtle gradient shading around the photo and events listing, and a complimentary contrasting gradient shading as the calendar background.  With the combinations of color, composition, style, and texture, it is easy to see what a wide variety of personalized designs we can offer.  We can do an entire year’s worth of calendar pages varying only the photos, or creating a unique page with every shot that is showcased.  For $3 per page, you will get a lot more to look at than the “built in” calendars available with some digital frames, and a lot less

B-O-R-I-N-G.

Calendars provide both utility and beauty when enhanced by personal photos.

We work hard to bring you interesting material on this site.  You are welcome to use the images you want by donating $3 per image for each item downloaded.  We are relying on the “honor system,” and copyrights so if you use our stuff and don’t contribute, it will not be around to take forever.  Thanks for viewing, and if you like what you see, tell a friend, or lots of friends would be even better.

From the information received this month, there are a few items that are becoming popular with people giving us feedback on our work with digitally formatted images.  The idea of attention getting award compositions with a humorous twist continues to remain in the spotlight.  These award composites are visually interesting enough to draw people closer to read, and then provide a wry humor in the punch line.  Check out this screen wallpaper award that has circulated through several different locations.

Comedic awards look like the real thing, but offer the unexpected.

A second item favorite for the month is another photo and matte composition that was used as a screen wallpaper.  The picture is a nice combination of fall colors and textured highlights that compliment the photo.  This item would also work well in a digital picture frame if it were delivered in a purely matted photo format without the faux frame and wall background highlights.

Nice composition used as screen wallpaper, with interesting fall colors and textured highlights.

These items are just two in a wide variety of possibilities for what can come from the flexibility of digital creations.  As time progresses, we will continue to share items of interest with our audience, and invite you to participate by purchasing some of these low priced, high impact images for yourself. Working from your own basic photos and requests, we can deliver unmatched quality for the pricing we have to offer.  Can we help to bring some of your ideas to life?
