Description

Custom made digital collage on canvas of six to eighteen family photos. The size of the collage will be approximately 20"x25" but may vary depending on the size of the images.

The collage will be made in consultation with the bidder through three 15-30 minutes phone calls, emails and/or MSN. The first call will discuss the specific purpose for the collage (e.g. birthday, anniversary, retirement gift), the timeline, the type of framing that the winner intends to use, address exchange and deadlines. The second contact will discuss the concept in progress and a concept image may be shared via email or website. The third contact will take place when the collage is near completion.

The winner will need to mail photos in a crushproof container. The photos will be returned in the original container and the heritage poster canvas will be sent rolled in a cardboard tube. The photos should be marked on the back with post-it notes ranking the photoes in order of importance. The buyer can choose to include important parts of a photo without using the entire photo. The photos do not need to be perfect. Scratches, bends, cracks and yellowing can be digitally corrected.
