The following design started with a picture of some fluffy clouds, then transformed into the final multi purpose template shown below.  Using the right textures, coloration and shapes associated with clouds, I can create my own universe of planets for a variety of themes.  For a higher resolution look at the composition, click on the image. 

Digital Image Design

Beautiful worlds can come from the clouds.

The last post in this series was contributed by a proud winner of the first bizarro ugly block award.  I am sure there are some contenders for the title on this planet, but there were none who cared to compete for the title.  If you have something ridiculous in mind, I can help.  For a worse look at this picture, click on the image.

Humorous Awards

This picture is a great case for retinol.

This post explains what happens to lost articles when we forget to take good care of our things.  One man’s loss is another man’s artifact?  Many such journeys of the imagination are possible.  Since other sites do not offer to turn your photos into comedic twists, I hope to get you to part with some cash for the sake of your own sense of humor, even if you do not particularly appreciate mine.  If you think you can do better, get busy tapping out an email to me, and see where it leads.

Humorous Thoughts

All right, they cannot all be gems!

My next post in the series demonstrates how I can take an image and create a theme around the baseline photograph, using some unexpected twists to achieve a different humorous perspective.  The whole idea is to use the combination of photo matting techniques combined with actual photos to result in something fun and new.  Since everyone likes humor, even though all humor is not a sure fired hit, having humorous material for your digital picture frame will at least be a good conversation starter for your guests.  If you need help, you can send me your photo, and I will try to work out a way to get some laughs from it.   Click on the image to see a higher resolution version of it.

Humorous Photo Matting

We can create humor using your photos and matting techniques.

I have no real explanation for the substance of the following image.  I was walking alone one evening letting my mind wander, and the thought that came to mind was as shown, so I made it real.  The idea seemed humorous to me, so I hope you will find it amusing as well.  To see a higher resolution version of the picture, click on it.  Roscoe?

Humorous Plaques

Images from someplace else to this place.

The next offering in this series was inspired by an image that came to me on a warm summer afternoon.  Why not express your own thoughts and let Matte Watch help you share them with your friends?  When you care to give the very best, we are waiting to bring your thoughts to life.  Click on the image to see a higher resolution version of the photo matting.  Enjoy.

Humorous Greetings

Some of the best humor comes with fleeting thoughts.

Commemorative Photo Treatments

Commemorate your photos with interesting compositions and highlights.

Happy July 4th to all Americans who celebrate our independence.  I am creating this award design to demonstrate how my multi purpose templates can be used to create a vivid award for a deserving person.  Whether you make your award for a company or just a close friend, the results can bring a smile of appreciation to somebody who needs to be recognized.  Do you have someone in mind?

Digital Awards

With our matting designs, you can create your own awards.

My next offering in the multi purpose template series shows how I turn the basic form into an eye-catching commercial.  Not found in stores, the only place you can buy a Matte Watch original design is right here on this web site.  You can look elsewhere for cool promotions for your frame, but you can only find me here.  Were you looking for something like this in the first place?  Better set up a bookmark so you will not forget where you saw it first.  Enjoy!

Digital Promotional Products

The digital promotion is a new way to advertise.

This posting illustrates how you might use a basic image template, as a foundation for adding your own thoughts to create an inspirational message plaque for your digital picture frame, computer wallpaper, or print.  Of course this approach requires beginning with an image that provides you with a canvas for having something inspirational to say.  If you have a profound thought you want to share with someone, the inspiration might occur before you have an image to help you illustrate it.  Ideas come from all sorts of directions.  Are you ready to share your own inspirations?

Inspirational Plaques

Images can be the source for many inspired thoughts.
