12 Benefits Of Online Photo Printing

Not every photo suits a split image print, but we say every photo deserves a go. Designing online gives you this flexibility.

All you have to do is select the split image option on our Canvas App, upload a photo then manouvre it to see if the style will suit.

Try moving the photo around the canvas layout. Try zooming in and out.

If your photo is of people, the trick is to avoid chopping off essential parts of their bodies. If your photo is of a place or something from nature (e.g. a flower garden), be sure the main feature of the photo remains the focal point.

Pets, animals, sunsets and landscapes often look amazing as a split image, so if you enjoy a creative decor and love a more arty style, this is definitely the way to go.

Collages provide the most affordable way to feature more than one photo as the display all sits on a single canvas print.

It may only take 5-10 minutes to create a collage online, but when it comes to choosing which style to go with, it may take a bit longer as you are totally spoilt for choice.

First you have to decide whether you want a traditional collage, a themed collage, a modish collage or a silhouette collage.

Some gems include a 'Live Travel Adventure' holiday themed collage, a romantic modish heart collage and a pet paw silhouette collage.

Then you have to decide which of the designs you like within those styles. It's such a wonderful problem to have!

Collages make for a great DIY craft project, so find some quiet time to be creative or get the kids involved to help out.

It's a really fun online activity. Enjoy!

From an interior design perspective, it often makes sense to centre a photo print above a piece of furniture, for example, a couch, a cabinet or a bed.

Measure the width of the item of furniture then measure the depth from the ceiling to that item. You can have it span the full width or leave some equal space blank on each size of the print.

This look, just by changing the colour and design of the canvas, results in being less overtly feminine and therefore has a more universal appeal.

That's the beauty of monochrome. Taking away colour often ends up adding greater impact. With colour removed, we tend to spend more time getting lost in the detail.

So while its tempting to play with colour, sometimes it's worth keeping it simple.

That said, if your wedding day was all about the colour, you can print online in full colour for the same price as black and white.

Cool huh?

With canvas, the frame is included but it's hidden. Your photos are wrapped around the frame. It achieves a contemporary upmarket look without the expensive price tag.

Using our online tools, you can decide how you want your image wrapped around the frame - a gallery wrap or a mirrored wrap. You can also decide to leave your wrap photo free and colour it instead.

Told you it was brilliant.

A baby print is cute on canvas, but it becomes incredible when printed on aluminium. 

How so?

Brushed aluminum is robust, so you can hang your baby print (or other awesome print of choice!) in a number of different spaces throughout your home.

Brushed aluminium is sleek and stylish, so it becomes a wonderful addition to areas of your home where you may otherwise only choose to feature high art.

When printed on metal, your baby photo instantly becomes high art.

Leaving aside talk of babies for a moment, metal prints are a wonderful material to display funky urban art and fine photography.

The way brushed metal catches the light means it can look different from one moment to the next depending on the type of light and viewing perspective.

It's really quite an extraordinary material.

However, if you're not yet ready to give it a go, baby steps are fine.

Fall in love with canvas first and you'll see a whole world of possibilities open up before your eyes.
