photo gifts for dads
You can create your own following some reasonably simple steps or you can enjoy a more polished feel by having one created by a professional designer. Once the collage is complete you can then have it printed on personalised gifts that include, amongst many others, canvas print montages, cushions, and even beanbags. http://www.bagsoflove.co.uk/
Creating Your Own Collage
First you need to ensure that you have the appropriate software. Microsoft Publisher is included with versions of the Microsoft Office suite and this is often installed with new computers. Adobe Photoshop is another popular image editing software program that can be used to create effective results and has an active community of developers that offer free collage templates for use in creating collages for any occasion. Open source (free) versions of both of these applications exist but you need to be sure that you get a program that does everything you need it to.
Open a document of the appropriate size (check with the gift printing service you'll be using to find out the appropriate measurements)
Choosing A Professional Fathers Day Collage Design
Rather than learning Photoshop or Publisher, you can have professional collages for Fathers Day created inexpensively. They offer exceptional results and you will always be emailed a proof of the design before it is printed. This generally offers some more unique and effective design styles too:
Overlapping – Photos can be overlapped so that no blank canvas is left showing behind the pictures; ideal for use with any number of pictures and especially useful if you want the pictures to be the same size and dimension as one another.
Photo Frames – A background photo or design is added to the gift item, and each of your photos is printed in a photo frame style border; perfect for use with smaller numbers of pictures and odd shaped photos.
Collage – Pictures are shrunk to small scale and then many of them are combined into a single design. Ideal for use if you have 20 or more pictures and don't want an extraordinarily large canvas or other gift printed.
Filmtsrip Montage – Choose up to seven photos and have them printed with a filmstrip style border around them; a glamorous use of a handful of pictures and quite unique.
Adding Collages For Fathers Day To Personalised Gifts
Once you've designed your own collages for Fathers Day or had one designed professionally just for the occasion, you can choose a photo gift to have them printed on. Canvas print montage, blanket montages, cushion montages, and even beanbag montages are especially popular montage gifts for use with collages for Fathers Day presents. Many other gift items can also be personalised in this way and some allow for the addition of a second favourite photo or even text to further personalise the Fathers Day gift experience.
