Today’s post is another floral composition that would make an excellent place to start for a multi purpose design.  Whether the image is used for an 8″ X 10″ print, 1024 X 768 digital image, a base image for a calendar, plaque, greeting card, screen wallpaper or promotional item, this image provides the lots of possibilities for attractive content.  If you want to order a custom treatment, copies of my own work, or just make a donation to the continuation of the ongoing work we do on this site, your feedback and contributions are welcome.  We are constantly working to improve our offerings and services to our valued business and individual customers.  Contact us anytime with your questions and ideas with no obligation.  Thanks for visiting, and tell your friends about us.

I must confess no small amount of trepidation as I watched the object slowly descending from the sky, almost invisible as it reflected its surroundings as  if looking through a mirrored pool.  I could not help wondering who or what had designed this strange craft as it continued to sink silently to a landing on the lawn.   Then a swirling vortex began to form at the center of the cube shaped object.  I could hear music as the lights became brighter, and some words began to form.  The words said, “Eat at Joe’s.”  Then the object faded away, back to the time from which it had come.  It was then that I realized I was the victim of another stinking timevertizement…

A message from the future.

Although we cannot exactly put together a timevertizement for your front lawn, we can get some pretty interesting matted and promotional images to your digital picture frame or computer screen for the low price of $3 per image.  If your ideas are somewhat “unusual” by nature, we will do what we can to accommodate your imagination.  Give us a try.

Matte watch offers a variety of items made from your photos and mine, including digital matting, inspirational and humorous plaques, awards, custom promotional, commemorative photo treatments, digital greeting cards, and digital calendars designed for your digital picture frame, computer wallpapers, or for you to create graphical prints and wall hangings.  The question is why?  My answer is that I have found a lot of enjoyment in the creative effort, and if I make a few bucks doing it, that is all right as well.  I offer you the variety because you should have a way to make your photos come alive, and allow them to please you beyond the original memories they invoke.  You may ask, “If I buy one of your photo treatments, can I resell them for myself?”  If you purchase one of my personal photo treatment images, I hold the copyright on those, so I would ask that you only purchase them for your enjoyment.  If you purchase images made from your photos, you can do as you wish in selling or republishing them, as long as you do not claim copyrights to the matting design enhancements, thus using only the image as a whole in going forward with your own plans.  Whew!  Now, on with my next personal offering.

 In the next series, I have created an idea for a multi purpose template design which can be used in a variety of ways that my next few articles will demonstrate.  Though this will have a limited scope, it may work well for a variety of picture types.  The following creation makes a nice matted image for display.

If you are looking for advertising, Matte Watch is the place to find images that make your business stand out.  Nearly all forms of advertising cost an arm and a leg to implement, because marketing operates under the principal that you need to spend lots of money to promote your business in order to achieve the desired results.  While some people depend on giving away inexpensive merchandise like cups, pens, hats and other give away reminders, there are few companies that can offer the power of digital picture frame images to attract an audience.  With our ability to produce quality images for low cost, you can find out quickly if this method will help your business without going broke before you can sell what you have to offer.  Click on the image to view at higher resolution.

This week’s promotional message demonstrates another way to mix business with pleasure with this image.  With all the hype and honk of today’s marketing techniques, I think it is nice to have something that gets the message across without screaming voice overs and obscure themes that make you wonder what product was being presented.  Matte Watch can make your business shine at a tiny fraction of the cost of most promotional approaches.  Click on the image to see the full size picture.  Nice.

During my early exposure to digital picture frames, I was in a store standing by the sales display for this technology, and noticed a curious response.  A store customer was passing by the display, looking like they were day dreaming about something, then they suddenly stopped in their tracks and started looking at the pictures being displayed on one of the frames on sale in the store.  A bit later, two more shoppers came by the display, and they exhibited the same response.  One shopper started speaking to the other, saying how interesting and clever the picture frame idea was in her opinion, and she told her friend that she was planning to purchase several of the picture frames as gifts for her family.  After seeing this kind of positive response and interest, my commercial mind got busy concluding that if showing pictures on these frames could sell the picture frame as merchandise, why not see how well pictures in these frames could sell other kinds of merchandise.  Thus, the idea of digital picture frame promotional products was born.  In practice, the sensory experience delivered by this technology is one more way to make an impression on potential customers.  In my own application, I prefer to create pleasant visual images like the one below.  There are many other possibilities available in this relatively new media for promotional approaches.

It only takes a little imagination to create a theme that turns a simple image into something of value.  I took this shot of a simple stairway while out for a walk in March of last year, and turned it into the offerings that follow for this week.  The difference between a mundane subject and a dazzling work of note is how it is displayed.  Sooner or later, every photographer from novice to professional can find a picture worth turning into something fun.  Click on the photos to see them at full resolution.
