Giant images…DO try this at home

September 7, 2011 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

Giant images…do try this at home

Blow up your resale store.... ad!There’s a web site where you can enlarge an image much bigger than a standard piece of paper (that’s “rastering”) and print it out section by section. Color, black and white, your choice.

Then you can use as-is, mount it on a pre-stretched canvas to make it look like a painting, collage your rest room…It’s all explained at Rasterbator.

Imagine dressing room walls…a tri-fold screen in your window…a seasonal photo on the wall of your check-in area or under the glass of your sales counter.  A giant repro of your logo on that back wall. Or stay simple, and just “blow up” your latest ad or postcard to put on your entry wall every week. Certainly would make your shop stand out in the Sea of Sameness that is resale in some communities.

You can do it online, or download the program.

Take a look at their gallery… Truly stunning.
