This is simply a list of ideas for using digital photos whether they are your own vacation photos and snapshots or free photos you download from some of the sites I shared yesterday.
- Background wallpaper for your PC
- Make a slide show type screensaver
- Print them as a background image for LTC (Letterbox Trading Cards) or ATC (Artist Trading Cards)
- Have them printed and framed to decorate a wall. For multiple pictures, use the same color frames to harmonize the a grouping.
- Use them to print postcards or cards to send to friends (or use in scrapbooks and art journals). Check out vistaprint.com moo.com for printing.
- Add some text to make inspirational signs or posters (there are lots of examples on Pinterest). You can do this in almost any software including Microsoft Office – Word and Powerpoint.
- Make calendars with them to give as gifts or sell in fundraisers
- Use them in blog posts
- Use them to make all kinds of photo based gifts from cell phone cases to coasters. Google photo gifts for ideas.
The pictures I used in this post were created using free mockups which allow you to place an image in a setting for concept visualization. This was my first experience playing with anything like this so I learned something new today! You need Photoshop or another image editing program to work with these.
