Happy New Year!

I’m probably stretching the limits of saying Happy New Year on the 10th Jan,  but as it is the first post of 2012 it seems appropriate. We’ve seen some brilliant photos over the last month as we created lots of life posters for Christmas, and they all arrived in time, thank you UPS and Royal Mail!

My son is talking about going skiing, he’s only 4 and has watched it on TV and thinks it looks great, he’s a dab hand on his scooter and bike so he’d probably take to it, but his brother is only 18 months so a bit young to go this year. Maybe next year.. It got me thinking about getting some great skiing or snowboarding photos to make a life poster, I read the other day that competitive skiers go 80mph, which is amazingly fast, no wonder it hurts when they have a crash! Anyway it would be great to get some sporty life posters on our site, so if you’re planning a Winter holiday this year, why not send us your pics and we will turn them into a life poster for you. Maybe we could use them on our site to show what we do.

Wherever 2012 takes you we look forward to seeing some great photos this year.

What is a float frame?

For a while now we have been offering float frames as a clean and modern way to display your photo collage. We often get asked “what is a float frame”, so we have taken some close up photos to give a better idea what the frames look like . Hopefully these close up photos of a Levi 36 will help.

Showing the outside of the frame.

The life poster collage is mounted onto a backing board which is then glued to the wooden frame – it sits just inside the frame so you don’t see any of the fixings.

Here you can see how the image sits inside the frame

The frame is lightweight making it easy to hang and as it sits flush to the wall you don’t see the picture nail. It’s also glass free so there’s no refelections.

The back of the frame - can be hung very easily using one or two picture nails

Levi 36 photo collage

We recently added a square photo collage to our collection – the Levi 36 – 36 photos 16″ x 16″ and mounted in a white wooden float frame. It’s been proving very popular and we’ve being enjoying creating some truly stunning life posters.

One stand-out Levi was made up of various flower shots – (Brilliant photos taken by Clare Maffioli) and was a great example of a life poster collage based on something other than people. As we enhance each photo – the colours are brought out and the details made more prominent by sharpening. Printed using our K3 UltraChrome inks the end result was fantastic – so we took a pic to share with you (thanks to Clare for letting us do this).
