Tips When Using Photos to Create Custom Gifts

The photo of the sea turtle is a good example of one element that makes the photo stand out. This photo it is very clear and interesting. Don’t be afraid of simplicity. Embrace it. 
2. Photo Tips | Choose a Photo with “Blank” Space
Photos that have an area of “blank” space work well when creating custom gifts. Many times it is desirable to include your logo with the photo. An area of “blank” space is a great place to place the logo.
