The Right Photo
If you’ve gone for a high quality personalised cards, like those found at Dom & Geri, it’s important the photo quality matches that quality. High resolution photos will ensure the photo isn’t pixelated or blurry. Keep to the borders of the photo frame by using the resizing feature to ensure you don’t cut off any important bits of the photo. Consider slightly adjusting the brightness of the image, as the image often appears brighter on a screen than it does in print.
Tips for a romantic photo:
• Place the faces at the centre of the image.
• Make sure the faces are in focus.
• Choose a subtle and inconspicuous background.
• Consider using collage designs like this one, to bring
the relationship to life on the card.
Tips for a humorous photo:
• Choose a simple card theme to allow the funny image
to be in the spotlight.
• Use a bright filter on the photo.
• Use a valentines card theme which allows you to combine
the photo with silly text, like this example.
Plan in advance to create a perfect start to your valentines day with a personalised card. Whatever nature you choose for the card, combine this with a similar toned gift, and be sure to use a matching Valentines Wrapping Paper to complete the theme.
