Bleed
No border... the
entire image runs right off the edges of the card. Most images need
to be cropped slightly for this style, but the closer the proportions
of the picture to the proportions of the card size you choose, the less
cropping required.

Borders
Floating an image
on a white or color background creates the effect of a border around
the picture. This is especially effective for photos that are not the
same proportion as the
card and also cannot be cropped. A number of border styles are available.
Some, for example,
can make the image appear framed or matted. A border color can be chosen
from within your
photograph, or let your imagination run wild and we'll try to match
it.

Type
You
can include a written message in the border or within the image area
at no extra
charge. The type can be any color or can be "reversed" out of an image
or border color.
The type color must contrast with the colors it covers within the image.
Remember, use
words to enhance an image, not to replace one. One picture is worth...

Photos Pay
The photograph
you supply is the heart of your advertisement. The right light & camera
angle makes the difference between a great image that sells and one
that fails to impress. Transparencies & Slides (first generation reproductions)
make the best cards, Glossy Photographs Prints (second generation) are
not as good but still work well on smaller size cards. |
