Turn a travel photograph into an everyday keepsake

Which trip photograph should I choose?
Look for a strong outline: a cabin and dock, a mountain ridge or a family standing against open sky. A photo crowded with tiny buildings and people asks a small engraving to do too much.
Choose the part you would recognize without a caption. A crop that keeps that subject large usually works better than preserving every edge of the original photograph.
Scene or Silhouette?
Scene simplifies a place into bold lines and a small amount of texture. Silhouette keeps posture and broad outlines, making it useful for groups whose faces are small. Try both when the memory is as much about the people as the setting.
Keep open spaces between trees, rooflines and figures. Check the prepared drawing at the selected product size, then compare it with your source image.
Can the landscape wrap around the wallet?
The current live bifold supports a centered design up to 64 × 54 mm on each outside face. A panoramic wrap and inside engraving are not available in this release. Older concept imagery may show wider placements.
The journal offers 90 × 105 mm per outside cover. Choose it when a scene needs more room. Each selected face needs its own approval, and the on-screen appearance remains a simulation of the physical engraving.
