Two years ago, clients came to me celebrating their mother/grandmother’s 90th birthday. Her lovely daughter-in-law wanted a touching gift, came to me through recommendations, and ordered an illuminated creation for her mother-in-law. I had the privilege of moving everyone with two illuminated numbers in a 90-shaped Perspex sculpture, combined with a touching and illuminated collage. The photos are here before you, it was touching and joyful.
Since then, the family has collected more birthday photos, and a week ago she received a uniquely loving magnet for age 92.
This isn’t just a magnet, it’s a magnet of love❤️
Following this touching 90th collage, I understood how important it is to emphasize to my clients the importance of photo selection.
Every photo collage “is based on the chosen design and the photos sent to me to create the collage”. Whether they’re photos for a special birthday, anniversary, wedding gift, or any other touching event – it’s important to choose the photos correctly.
Each photo brings its own color, atmosphere, emotion, familiar faces, and together they create a unique combination of special life moments on a personal creation that I prepare especially for you.
What is the Ordering Process up to the Moment of Photo Selection?
First, you choose the style of creation including photos: photo collage (selfie), letters of life, magnets, or PVC for hanging.
Then you decide on the desired size, phrase/letters/shape/numbers that will form the basis of the creation.
The choice depends on the style you’ve selected.
When you’re directed to fill out the form, you complete all the necessary details for the creation
and you can upload the photos right after payment.
If you’re planning to give a touching photo collage as a gift, I recommend preparing in advance with special photos, birthday photos, or photos from other important events so that when it’s time to upload the photos, everything will be ready and available.
But before you go to choose photos, you should know how to choose them correctly so I can create a perfect creation for you!
So What’s Important to Note when Choosing Photos for a Collage?
Clear and well-lit photos – It’s important that the photos are clear and not blurry, so anyone viewing the collage “can identify the faces and figures, therefore it’s advisable to choose well-lit photos. Keep in mind that I create a collage” from the photos and they’re covered with a Perspex layer which, although transparent, should still be taken into account to ensure the photos are as clear and bright as possible.
Variety in photo selection – Make sure not to take photos from just one or two events but try to vary photos from different events and times, of course according to your chosen concept. If it’s a birthday photo collage, it’s advisable to vary as much as possible in different periods and places; if it’s a vacation photo collage, then the variety should be in different places during the trip or vacation itself. Variety in photos and locations creates a richer and more creative collage.
Consideration of loved ones – Put thought into choosing the people who appear in the photos, neither overdoing the presence of people in the photos nor forgetting to include people important to the collage’s recipient. Of course, when it’s a gift for a spouse, most photos will be of the couple, but if it’s a birthday photo collage for a meaningful birthday for grandma or dad, it’s good to include all children or grandchildren and other family members, keeping everything positive.
Special life moments – Creating a photo collage “is an opportunity to capture special life moments in an original and creative way, and incorporating special life moments like: weddings, births, graduations, trips, etc” can enhance its uniqueness and the special emotion that arises when viewing it.
Sense of humor – When we see people smiling in photos, we smile ourselves, so it’s important to include photos from happy moments, of smiling people, and even embarrassing and funny moments that were captured, adding them alongside touching moments. Humor in a collage “is the necessary seasoning for creating a touching and successful photo” collage.
Quality – The higher the photo quality, the better the collage will be, so photos larger than 4MB are preferred.
Now all you need to do is choose which type of collage “you want to order and start collecting suitable photos exactly according to what’s written here, and at the time of ordering, simply send them to me and I’ll make sure to create a special photo” collage for you.
