A lot of people own collections upon collections of photos. These photos can range from group pictures, events, to high-quality studio shots. But how can one truly make a decision on which photographs to print or enlarge on artist canvas for your home, office, or commercial space?

Home and Commercial Spaces

Remember that both of these environments are different from each other. The former is a more intimate space that defines more of its inhabitants. The latter is a public space that may reflect a specific purpose - such as a canvas that defines interiors of the office space, motivational posters, and so on. Even the commercial space differs as it can be an office space as well.

More than this, commercial spaces are also where your clients frequent. Such posters or canvas maybe used to entice customers to buy more items, introduce new product lines, and promote a brand image.

Criteria on a Good Portrait

The criteria might as well change since the portraits were you would want to put them in differ. Still there are certain ways to look at your photos and see whether they truly reflect a kind of value that fits your esteem

1. Values
This criterion can be interpreted in many ways. Values may mean your company's core strengths that make you distinct from any other company. Your enlarged group photos or composition should reflect these qualities that you would want to celebrate or imbibe among employees.

Values can also be instilled in your personal portraits that you would want to fill your home with. An old house or ancestral house is a portrait that helps you to remember your ancestors. A family photo can communicate strong bonds or unity.

2. Sentiments
Pictures or photos with strong sentiments attached to them are best for the family home. It's a classic piece which you will always remember and hold dear.

Commercial companies or establishments do attach sentiments in their canvas prints. This is especially useful if the company had originated years and years ago or if the establishment is part of the cultural and traditional landscape of that area. If your establishment has become a historical place or even a landmark which attracts many tourists, a background on your business' history may well add to its charm.

3. Composition
A good composition is not just about selecting photos or designs that are perfect in themselves. Compositions are all about balance where your viewers can directly focus on the most important elements of your picture. It is about being clutter-free so no unnecessary objects are in the picture.

Cropping your pictures is okay as long as you can get the composition that you truly want. You can cut out the best part of your pictures and have that printed on your artist canvas and blown up.

4. Why Settle for One?
Canvas printing is a flexible printing service that works to your advantage. You need not limit yourself printing just one enlarged photo. You can accommodate your imagination and produce a collage. Create a series of pictures on the canvas and have that printed.

5. Resolution
Whatever the quality of your input is the quality of your output. So it is always important to remember that good photos produce good prints. Check the resolution of your photos before printing them. Check your digital files. The right resolution for a particular artist canvas size can easily be given to you by your printing company.
