How To Create A Canvas Print
A canvas print can add character and style to any room in your house. Here is a step by step guide to making your own personalised canvas print with Pixaprints.
Getting started
The first thing you need to do is choose the picture you want to turn into a canvas print. Many people choose sentimental pictures of them with their loved ones; however, more and more people are trying their hand at photographing beautiful landscapes and views. These pictures are a great way to add your own style to a room, and it is likely that your friends will be very impressed when they find out that you took the picture yourself!
You can either upload the picture from your desktop computer or one of your social media accounts; for example, you could choose your Facebook cover photo or a picture that you uploaded to Twitter or Instagram.
Once you have uploaded the picture, you can drag it into the middle of the screen. When the picture is in the middle, you will see more information about the size and quality of the picture. Pixaprints will let you know if the image is not high quality so that you can replace the image with a better picture. You may be tempted to ignore the warning; however, this means that it is much more likely that you won’t be happy with the final product. It is generally best to choose a high-quality picture!
It is also worth noting that you can move the image around the screen so that it rests perfectly on the canvas. Make sure that you are happy with the location of the image before proceeding to the next step.
Choosing a size
If you are happy with the image on the screen, it is time to choose which canvas you want. You can choose whether you want the canvas to be portrait or landscape, and you can even choose the frame thickness. There is also a wide variety of canvas sizes, from small and subtle to giant canvases that make more of a statement. This means it is very easy to create the exact look you want.
You can also add colour effects to the canvas, such as black and white, and you can decide whether you want the picture to wrap around the frame of the canvas.
Once you have done this, you are finished! Simply click ‘add to basket’ to add your canvas to your order. After this, you can either click ‘proceed to checkout’ or you can create another canvas. A very popular interior design choice is using multiple canvases with one picture spread across; if you want to do this, you may want to create one or two more canvases.
