Above are four subtly different designs for a beautiful high fashion photograph.* The design process is done using your original artwork, physical samples that show true color of the materials and, if you wish, uploading of a digital file to an online service which allows us to experiment with hundreds of design options.

The first step in the design process is uploading a digital image file, we set the height and width of the image, then choose the thickness, frame face width and frame lip style. |
Once the previous steps are taken, it is a simple matter to experiment with a variety of frame shapes. It can be standard rectangular (see left) or curved such as the Lemi option above |
 |
 |
It is a simple matter of clicking any shape icon to see how the image will look in a selected shape. Above is the Mia shape. |
After selecting a shape we like we can look at colors for the frame field and lip. We can also select the frame Finish, Clear (glossy) or Sanded (matte). |
 |
 |
Here we are looking at the Clear (glossy) finish. There is also an option either Crystal Clear or Sea Green acrylic. The latter has more of a natural 'glass' look that enhances certain colors. |
Also in Step 2 we can choose a background pattern for our frame. The patterns range from gemetric to abstract and whimsical. |
 |
 |
As we experiment with Patterns, we can zoom in on our image to see them more clearly. As we experiment with patterns, we may choose to select a new frame shape and/or color. This can be done at any time with the click of a button. |
When we've finished with the design process, the file is saved and the order placed. The custom manufacturing and fitting of your art into the frame takes about four weeks. |
