Canvas printing remain one of the most exciting tools in anyone\u2019s design toolbox, bringing colour and texture into any room. But many people approach it the same way: As a clearing house for existing images. Whether it\u2019s family photos on their hard drive or images they find online, the procedure is to start with an image and then figure out how to make it into a great piece of wall art.<\/p>\n

\"Canvas<\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing wrong with using existing photos for your canvas printing \u2013 that\u2019s one of the main pleasures of the design technique, after all. But you can\u2019t get stuck in the rut of always poring over your collection of photos for pieces that are ideal for use as canvas art. You have to start thinking proactively, and start planning your photography with the explicit goal of creating art prints.<\/p>\n

Even Canvas Printing Need Planning<\/h2>\n

The difference between photos that are selected months or years after being snapped and photos that are planned for canvas printing can be startling. Instead of an image that isn’t the best quality, or that doesn’t quite go with the colour palette of your room, you start with a photo that is of the highest quality, ready-made for the purpose.<\/p>\n

If you’ve been disappointed with how your canvas prints have turned out in the past \u2013 perhaps because they were grainy, or dark, or simply not popping off your walls the way you’ve seen in other people\u2019s homes or online \u2013 then it\u2019s likely because you\u2019re pulling your source images from a collection that isn’t ideal. We rarely think about the ultimate destination of our photos when we\u2019re snapping them, because for decades the only destination for our photos was paper prints in a frame. You have to change your way of thinking to get the best possible canvas art.<\/p>\n

Photos with Purpose<\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s how to approach photography with canvas printing in mind:<\/p>\n

\"Canvas<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Go high-quality.<\/strong> Make sure your photos are being taken with the highest quality settings. The better-quality your photos are, the better your canvas prints will look.<\/li>\n
  2. Think in squares.<\/strong> Whether you\u2019re planning a single large canvas, a few smaller ones, or an ambitious multi-canvas project, keep the outline of your concept in mind as you compose photos. This can be as simple as shifting the frame slightly for an ideal square-based composition, or as ambitious as planning out each panel of a big idea and ensuring you get the perfect shots for it.<\/li>\n
  3. Zoom in.<\/strong> If you\u2019re thinking about multi-canvas ideas, remember, it doesn’t have to be one huge photo that gets cut up \u2013 you can zoom in and make each panel a separate image. This can increase the impact factor of your wall art, as each panel of the multi-canvas installation is not only a powerful moment by itself, but the subtle disconnection between each panel will come together for a nice underlying effect.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Switching from using the photos you\u2019re stuck with for cheap canvas printing to shooting specific images designed from the get-go for your walls can be a jarring experience \u2013 but the increase in quality for your design ideas will be startling. Sometimes the hardest part of new tools is learning how to use them properly.
